Phyllis Babcock Poet Personification

Winter Coat

Winter decided to arrive early
he asked North wind to blow
his frosty breath over the ground
his huffs and puffs came hastily
tossing an scattering
fallen leaves of autumn.

Winter pulled on his coat
he laid a blanket of white
covering the ground in snow
his frosty look began to freeze
coating all within his sight
wrapping himself in for the season.

Andrea Dietrich March 10, 2019 at 12:46 PM I really enjoyed your personification in this one. Still I have not discovered where I left off with you. OH my. So much time has gone by. Phyllis Babcock March 17, 2019 at 12:58 PM Yes time flies by so quickly that you think it is a short while when it fact it is a month or two. Nice sunny day today and going to babysit this afternoon. love phyl

Connie Marcum Wong December 14, 2018 at 12:21 PM First snow is so beautiful, but it came shockingly early this year to many states in north America and Canada. Fall ended too soon.

Merry Christmas and all the best in the new year. love phyl
