Notes About The Poem

Written - 19th December 2025

 

 

 

When Jack Frost pops up

Jack Frost may bite one's fingers, nose and toes
but he's an artist, as everyone knows
Decorating windows and hedgerows
adding glitz and glamour to winter's rose.

Jack Frost only appears in wintertime
inspiring poet's poetic rhythm and rhyme 
Doesn't earn a penny, or even a dime
never changing, Jack is still in his prime.

Once, in my garden, Jack Frost did appear
made a bush look alike a chandelier
I'll not forget, the memory so dear
that lives on in my mind from year to year.

Jack Frost’s filigree is pure poetry
with that I expect most folk would agree.

This is great fun. As a little girl, before we got double glazing, Jack Frost would draw inside my windows. I'm happy to be warmer it's true, but I do love the icing glitter that a crisp frosted morning shares.

Great poem! I will forgive Jack Frost for biting my fingers, toes, and nose, because he does such a great job with his frosty paint brush!

Dear Beryl, Such a gentle celebration of winter’s artistry. I loved how you captured Jack Frost not as something harsh or biting, but as a kind of playful creator, turning hedgerows into glitter and a bush into a chandelier. Beauty often arrives quietly, leaving us with images that linger year after year. Holiday Blessings, Dear Beryl, Daniel

Thank you Daniel, it was the first house that my husband and I bought in the early days of our marriage. That bush looked so beautiful, covered in icicles, though we’ve moved on I’ve never forgot how beautiful that bush looked outside our back door… Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year…Beryl
