Jack Frost

Jack Frost is a hoary mischievous fellow
A man with a penchant for autumn coloring,
Carrying buckets of paint: red, brown and yellow,
Killing crops and late-blooming flowers with a zing!

Frozen  toes and noses are Jack’s big delight.
Racing through towns and fields, he leaves us winter frost.
Once you have met him, you will not forget his bite!
Snow, sleet and ice he brings before the night is lost.
Then you awake to see his art in morn’s first light.

Hello Andrea... jack frost seems so far away on this steamy, muggy day here. Perhaps you can lend me just a little bit of him - Lindsay

The good and the bad, you captured the ups and downs of this character, but his art on the windows are worth it. :)
