Phyllis Babcock Poet Rhyme

Season Closure

Oh summer for you I weep
as winter now begins to creep
the warmth of days gone by
a memory with a big sigh

Oh trees of summer so green
now the colour is a dream
trees all barren and brown
leaves fallen in a mound

Oh summer for you I weep
as winter now begins to creep
soon comes a coat of white 
covering everything in sight

Jennifer Proxenos December 4, 2025 at 9:48 AM Hi Phyllis, Looks as if you are looking forward to Summer already! I would say visit sunny South Africa but we have had a wet, cold Spring, lets see how our Summer will surprise us! Hope you are well my friend. Love and hugs, Jennifer. Phyllis Babcock June 26, 2026 at 11:55 AM Thank you. It has been a long while since I was on line. I took a 6 month break. Summer is here and look forward to spending time outside. love phyl

(sad to hear you have been sick, wish you a speedy recovery ... sending you positive energy .... at this time we need a lot of it:) - with a warm friendly hug :) - Phyllis Babcock June 26, 2026 at 12:02 PM Thanks my friend. It was a long winter and spring. I hope all goes well this year. It has been a long time since I last posted. Have a great weekend. love phyl
