Jack Frost
January will arrive with Jack Frost by her side.
As expected, we will feel their presence far and wide.
Coming with their entourage will be the ice and snow.
Keeping warm gets harder when they make their cold winds blow.
Frozen ponds and icicles add to the winter scene.
Racing through, this couple can be volatile and mean.
Often January and her mate will change their ways.
Suddenly they may, in mercy, grant some pleasant days.
Then comes February's turn; they know they cannot stay.
