Joyce Johnson Poet Rhyme

Winter Preview

Not a single flake of snow has fallen,
Yet the ground is covered with white.
Jack Frost is delivering sparkling rime
On this November moonlit night.

Wind has been welcomed to join in the game.
He is waiting to bite your nose,
And Jack Frost, the rascal,. is capable 
Of nipping away at your toes.

You attend their gala at your own risk,
Before Winter comes at full speed.
The party hosted by Jack is a blast,
A welcome to Winter indeed.

For Brian’s 12 line contest

Won a 3rd
