Phyllis Babcock Poet Personification

Autumn's Season

Autumn brushes her hair slowly
Letting the glorious colors
flow gently to the earth below.
Showing off vibrant colors 
 in contrast to summer's green dress.
 Out doing the starkness,
of winter's white coat.
Autumn compares the mutable
shades of spring to her fall
Giving a sigh ,end of another season.
She packs her brush 
as frost touches her tips.

Timothy Ray April 9, 2022 at 5:57 AM i miss those colors....that magical time of change as Earth begins its long-awaited slumber...and you magnificently captured that transition where we begin to long for an end to the ice-mud tug-o-war and the first Robin goes bob-bob-bobbling along...thanks, loved it

Thank you Phyllis - Lindsay Phyllis Babcock October 3, 2015 at 11:34 AM Thanks for reading this poem Lindsay. Autumn is now upon us and those leaves are flying everywhere.
