Springtime--By Phyllis Babcock--Canada

Springtime

The mist dissipates no longer shades of white
 As sun breaks through with lemon light
Shadows begin to blur and shimmer
As a new day overtakes the dawn
The drab colorless landscape regains color
Another season awakens from its slumber
Bringing forth new growth of spring
After the harshness of winter
Nature continues to flourish
It's balance highly maintained.

Phyllis Babcock was born in Saskatchewan, Canada in 1951 and currently resides in Regina with her husband. She has been blessed with two wonderful sons and daughter-in-laws. She has two grandsons and two granddaughters. She started writing poetry in 2004 and joined Poetry Soup site in 2006. She has been published in two anthologies, On Butterfly Wings and Snippets. Her work has also appeared on Poetry.com and in a local seniors’ newspaper. She feels writing has been a wonderful journey, meeting many new poets and writers along the way.
