Jacks cold nose(winter)

Jacks cold nose(winter)

A Poem by Gee
"

A winter morning

"
Now all is touched by Jacks cold nose,
dusted white the neat hedgerows,
where spiders webs hang iced in place,
like doilies spun from finest lace.

Whilst trees arthritic, stark and bare
reach for a warmth no longer there,
from a fading sun in wintery skies,
as the last of Autumn falls and dies.

Hi, Gee!

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 Carola
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

It seems so much falls into the long time ago category.
Thanks
I liked it, and have to wonder why did you stop?

Lovely simple descriptions,Gee, that convey the scene perfectly, but my favourite is your original concept of frosted spiders' webs resembling doilies.
