Jack Frost-Acrostic

J anuary's cold makes December feel like spring!
A lways wanting it to be warm, but left yearning
C ause the ice and snow in the beginning
K eeps me excited, but depression starts winning

F or winter although beautiful, is far too long
R eminders of summer a distant memory now
O nly Jack Frost is now on patrol
S lowly, oh so slowly he releases control
T hen the frozen wasteland, yields to spring again.


For Shadow Hamilton's Jack Frost contest.

I would think your Canadian winters always seem too long Yesterday it was 74 here and today, with our high humidity, it feels like its in the 40s..I'm not complaining. A very good entry, John.
