Phyllis Babcock Poet I do not know?

Ice and Snow

When the cold winds blow

It can freeze your soul

The feel of ice in your veins

Hoping you can unthaw again

When the snow storm is strong and you can't see

When life is mixed up how can it be

The wind and ice strong and cold

Like the sorrows we behold

The unthawing of the snow

Is like the unthawing of the soul

Each little snowfake of our life

Make up some of our sorrow and strife

So as the drops melt away

And the ice can no longer stay

Let the winds blow our sorrow

Into a new tomorrow

Constance La France October 15, 2010 at 3:27 PM I like to view poets first poems sometimes, and I am happy I viewed this one, just grand and wonderful and I want to thank you for all your comments on my poetry~~

Andrea Dietrich October 14, 2010 at 8:42 PM this is really nice, Phyllis, AS I looked for poems to comment on, I realized I had commented probably to every poem on your current page of poetry. Gosh, YOUR name starts with P. I had gone thru the premium members and thought I caught all the people with names I could use in my little acrostic you just read! Then when I saw your name in the comment box just now I realized I had missed your name. Sorry about that. I missed a few others too! LUv, Andrea
