Notes About The Poem

Jack Frost Acrostic

Jack Frost adores nipping at our fingers, toes and nose.
Always dressed in white, he hides outside our homes
Creeping out in the dead of night
Keeping his icy wintery fingers busy 

Frozen fronds of fern like ice white frost
Resplendently dress our windows and gardens.
Our surroundings are adorned by Mother Nature’s makeover.
Suddenly scintillating snow falls softly on the ground 
Transforming our world into a winter wonderland

Jan....here in "Bahstin" aka Boston the ultimate rating system consists of #1 "WICKED PISSAH", #2 "WICKED AWESOME" and #3 "PISSAH". Just some of the colloquial idiosyncrasies of the native Bostonians speech. They even have WICKED PISSAH T-shirts....
