Phyllis Babcock Poet Personification

Winter Storm

Restless winter's snow covered the ground
North wind blew in another winter storm
It howled,  it crawled and packed solid
 Clinging where it could to a  frozen mother earth
Wave after wave it pounded, like a surf it bombarded
Icy pebbles scattered in all directions 
Spray like mist climbed the snow dunes
As an eerie chill settled upon the land

 ***********************
 Wind why do you blow
 as if you had no soul.
You come wild with fury
making all so weary.
