Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Closure of Summer

Summer days become short
mornings are touched by frost
harvest is almost complete
the golden weave of crops
wave goodbye to seasons end
the air is filled with sounds
numerous variety of birds
prepare for southern flight
daylight begins to dwindle
as long summer nights end
closure of another season
arrives on our doorstep.

Judy Ball October 10, 2019 at 5:29 PM We have got our cold weather here in Alberta. We've had some snow but it has melted and turned to ice. This is a fine description of the close of summer and the beginning of a cold winter. Well Done as always. Love and God Bless, JB Phyllis Babcock October 20, 2019 at 1:29 PM Thanks Judy and yes harvest was very much delayed as we only have 60% of the crops off. Cooler fall this year as long as the white fluff stays away I will be happy. Nice to see your name come up and connect. love phyl

Lindsay Laurie September 30, 2019 at 1:10 AM Hello Phyllis … as you reach towards winter as we yearn for spring and warmer weather. It's been a cool winter this year. Your verse paints a nice picture - thanks Phyllis - Lindsay Phyllis Babcock October 20, 2019 at 1:26 PM Thinking of you in that warmer climate but not as warm as you can get. We had first snow fall but it melted and we are getting a cooler fall but anything is better than snow. love phyl

Connie Marcum Wong September 23, 2019 at 12:49 PM I am happy to see summer depart Phyl. It is raining here today and I am delighted. The hot humid weather gets all of us down when the trade winds take a break. I love the feel of fall in your lovely poem! I hope you are well? Blessings, Connie xxoo Phyllis Babcock October 20, 2019 at 1:21 PM Thanks Connie. I am well and liking the fall weather. We are only 60% done on harvest this year as we had early snow. It is gone so hopefully harvest can be finished. love phyl

Swetha Vangaveti September 23, 2019 at 5:48 AM Were walking towards winters here in India. However, I have never enjoyed summer's here. Extremely hot and sultry. I nearly sob for breath. One more season has to pass for summer to greet us. Till then I'll be dancing my feet. Phyllis Babcock September 23, 2019 at 12:31 PM Thanks Swetha and I can imagine your type of heat and humidity as our summers are mild compared to yours. Winter is supposed to be bitterly cold this year and not looking forward to those predictions. love phyl
