Jack Frost Slips In

He came silently upon late fall's 
Northerly air, chilled the mowed grass
Without even a slight care
Turned the season to white
Within a few hours 
One long dark night
Jack Frost killed
Flowers
And ~
Bees
Suffered.
Blue birds gone
Hummers have flown
Butterflies unseen
Disappeared from the scene
Then came back again to play
Jack Frost stopped mourning dove's coo
A temperamental how you do

Victor Buhagiar Date: 12/12/2020 2:16:00 PM Winter has its ups and downs too. Storms and fine weather alternate. That's life. ~~ Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 12/12/2020 2:21:00 PM Victor, Yes, it seems so here in the south but we always a interlude in the cold, rain, sleet or snow to a few nice days to enjoy the sunshine. The sunshine always helps to improve spirits. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Arturo Michael Date: 12/12/2020 10:43:00 AM You danced to and fro in this nonet...in a carefree manner...Enjoyed the read... Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 12/12/2020 11:39:00 AM Michael, We had a heavy frost then it warmed up and the butterflies and birds came back for awhile. We have had heavy frost most all this week and the butterflies and hummers are definitely gone. I think winter is mostly upon us. Thanks for dropping by. I appreciate the time spent here. Sara
