John Lawless Poet Acrostic

Jack Frost - For Contest

JACK FROST


January crushed the life of all
Angrily encased winter in the silence of ice,
Caustic cold burning the surface of the lake,
Knifing winds severing the threads of sunshine.

Frozen - in the moments of their hesitation
Ragtag groups of flaked snow mold themselves 
Onto the shivering frames of twisted trees,
Silvery statues glistening in the blue moonlight
Traced by the fingers of the artistic Jack Frost.

Jaycee Cervenka November 27, 2015 at 8:17 PM John, I like the dark more sinister feel you've given Mr Frost. This is no benevolent wind but a dark artist in a temper despite the write monochrome landscape. Good luck in the contest. John Lawless November 28, 2015 at 6:57 AM Thanks Jaycee for reading and commenting.
