Notes About The Poem

Jack Frost

******

           I awoke this morning to Jack's winter show.
           The icy winds whirled across the horizon with glee.
           As this prankster froze all the rain into snow,
           The bright sunlight glistens from the tops of the trees.
           It shimmered and pranced for all the world to see.
 
           The magical Jack Frost made his entrance once more.
           He's the spirit of winter and has the heart of a juvenile.
           A mischievous old elf, impish to the core.
           A masterful sculptor, poetic in style.
           He will create a winter scene you can see for miles.
