Phyllis Babcock Poet Personification

Frost

In a cool winter day
as the season begins to warm
trees are covered in a coat of white
decorated by hoarfrost
transforming it 
to a beautiful winter land
as the wind gently blows
through the branches
with each puff it cascades
settling on the ground below
soon the trees become barren
the coats gently removed
only to be redecorated
on another day in winter's season.

John Loving Iii June 15, 2026 at 4:18 PM It's a memory sence I moved. But it's been some time. Did you get burned out? don't worry you'll be back.

Judy Ball April 29, 2026 at 1:20 AM Beautiful Phil. Wonderful imagery. I could see the trees decorated with garlands of white. Am just back after finally getting a new pc. I was hacked by hackers again and couldn't even turn on my old one. God Bless, JB

Jennifer Proxenos February 1, 2026 at 11:55 AM We see snow once in every 7 or 8 years if we are lucky in this part of South Africa but if you live for instance in the Drakensberg area stretching all along the Eastern Coast of Southern Africa you will see it more often . I long to see a winter Fantasy land covered in white fluffy snow. Hugs Jenny. Phyllis Babcock February 1, 2026 at 5:52 PM Thank you for your comment on my poem. We have over a foot of snow and I am looking forward to spring season. love phyl
