Jack Frost

Jack Frost came earlier this year,
After a long, warm, summer was over,
Coming with windblasts and frozen rain,
Keeping all of us running for cover.

Fall was not given her allotment of days 
Reserved for her on the year's calendar.
Objections from her have been ignored.
Snow and ice are seen everywhere.
Tough Winter has grabbedl an unfair share.

I so agree, autumn was robbed this year. White killed the colors with icey breath. Go back Jack! I enjoyed your poem Joyce.
