Artist

Solo artist Snow works throughout night,
silently painting rooftops white,
crayons lawns, pencils in trees
a dazzling shade of white
over his great frieze;
his masterpiece
wins acclaim,
then melts -
shame!

Oh I do love old Jack Frost. He whizzes through town draping lacy garlands over the tress and bushes and laying a clean blanket of pristine white over the yards and fields. A delight to the eye and an inspiration to the poet. Great job. God Bless, JB Been gone awhile because my puterr was sick and had to go to the puter hospital.
