"Whilst trees arthritic" lol You can't write IF You don't add your very imprint to the poem. this made me smile big Gee, I was reading a wonderful poem and beautiful icy expressions then suddenly the poor trees are arthritic, You know how to play with your readers imagination :>
I first thought of a Jack on the rocks, but soon enough Jack Frost reared his head.
Having read numerous of your pieces, what strikes me most is your originality, knack for creativity (often humorous), and how smooth it reads, with spot-on rhymes, and though nicely structured, quite unmetered. This speaks to your keen sense of rhythm, because without meter, only the skilled and experienced can make a poem dance upon the page as you do.
I admire your metaphoric imagery, too … very much enjoyed,
Thank you for sharing! ⁓ Richard🖌

Thank you Richard, Hope you are well.

This is a beautiful winter scene drawn in well-chosen words. Love the way winter is personified & love the rhyming. There's a melancholy tone that comes across & reminds me of the blue mood of deep winter. Glad our winters are brief & mild here in California! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
Lovely simple descriptions,Gee, that convey the scene perfectly, but my favourite is your original concept of frosted spiders' webs resembling doilies.

Simply written, easily understood "stuff" for those without code breaking skills. You will NEVER need Google to understand me:)
