Phyllis Babcock Poet Rhyme

Books

In a book of pages
Are written words and phrases
Lines that can make you laugh
Lines that can make you cry
Lines that make you want to live
Or lines that make you die
As your eyes engage
Each and every page
You are captured by the essence
Of past, future, present.
