Jacks cold nose(winter)

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.

Stating the obvious but Jack is Jack Frost

This conjures images from years long past when the very young me first marveled at nature's intricate crystalline handiwork. "This Jack Frost, how does he do it?
Very good writing, Gee.

I found this beautiful short one to be so soothing - it's probably that rhyme, which I need to commend you on. I don't find rhyming to be an easy task at all.

Your imagery is so impeccable that I can see what you're describing extremely clearly. "like doilies spun from finest lace" This is such a beautiful simile.

Winter thanks you for this poem, as do I.

[Gee]

No, thank you kind lady.

Why did you put an ellipsis at the end of that, just like you did with the other review I wrote? I was being totally sincere in both of my reviews

[Gee]

Sorry no offence meant,just a lazy way of completing 10 characters
