Notes About The Poem

"This Is The Day That The Lord Has Made.                                                                                      Let Us Rejoice And Be Glad In It."                                                                                                                                            Psaalm 118:24

Jack Frost Is Here

Jack Frost has come for his visit,
And it looks like he's going to stay.
He's brought snow and ice, cold cuts like a knife.
It's awhile before he goes away.

He's written his name on the fence posts.
It glistens wherever you look,
My nose and eye lashes, on fence gates and latches,
And he's made icy slush of the brook.

Not everyone cares much for Winter.
They really don't like being cold,
But I like the season, it gives me a reason,
To dress up in my new winter clothes.

I have fancy hats, scarves and mitts,
A new coat and boots that won't quit,
For walks in the snow or wherever I go,
For cold weather I must say I'm fit.

It's going to be cold for awhile now,
So I'll get out in the snow and I'll play.
I miss the warm sun but I still can have fun.
I'll just make the most of the day.

It seems that you enjoy the snow from this well written work. I like to see its beauty but don't like to be out in it. Your visit to my page was encouraging. Sara

Snowy wintry scenes are beautiful, and also a lot of fun, with skiing, sledding, snowmobiling, ice skating and snowballs. A beautiful poem. :)

You must look stunning in your new wintry outfit. Winter must come but it will eventually go away and bring a new vision of stupendous flowers and green leaves. ~~

I love this. It shows the fun that winter can bring. Here, I love the scenes that open up after the leaves fall. I am on a hill with mountains in the distance. Thanks for sharing :)
