Phebe Selby Poem
A cool summers eve, waiting in the lawn chair,
The neighbors mowing their lawn, the sound of
an airplane,
Children jumping on the trampoline, with
ice tea in my hand,
Laughter from behind the chair, a spray
of water from the water hose,
I arose quickly to my feet! My back chilled,
and a yell coming from within,
That was cold!!!

Phebe Selby Poem
A tweet,a whistle, a beautiful note,
after long consideration, a sigh of sweet relief.
A note, a tune, an afternoon, just listening for fun.
The trees, a breeze, hearing the river run.
Reminds me of the country I knew, a place,
a face of birds, hills, flowers, and the dew.
Running, laughing, sometimes napping and walking up the road.
Swimming, giggling and watching a hop from a toad.
Working, digging,just not quitting this was the place I knew.
I hope somehow I can bring it now to the city where I live.
A girl, three boys and a husband who's love is true.
This is what I know.
