Phyllis Babcock Poet Personification

Move--Over Winter

The snow is gently falling
Upon the barren ground
Melted slowly but was almost gone
only to return 
Not wanting leave the season
Robins returning from the south
Searching for food on the frozen ground
Only finding mere scraps
Crows chasing around  barren trees
Looking for a new spring mate
Flowers trying to peek and catch
a glimpse of the sun
The sun playing hide and seek with clouds
Laughing while it plays hot and cold
With the seasons
Winter does not want to leave
while spring is slowly nudging its way in.

Lindsay Laurie August 23, 2018 at 11:04 PM Hello Phyllis … almost a verse about our winter finally succumbing to some beautiful days, although the snow if forty miles away from us and that continues to fall. It has been a chilly, windy winter - nicely written Phyllis - Lindsay

Judy Ball May 13, 2016 at 3:42 PM I love the changes of the seasons. Each one is so new and we are so ready for a change except of course when summer leaves. That is often way too soon for me. Nice job here my friend. God Bless, JB
