I liked reading this, He just left here, we are getting over a blizzard
that hit last weekend.

I really, really enjoyed reading this.

Your couplets are nice and good luck with it.

I am still trying to get past the picture of Jack Frost. He's a real beaut, isn't he?! That was way fun to read and you are a rhymemistress! (my new favorite made up word) Keep up the great work....and would love to see a poem on alpacas! lol

I thought the flow was just fine. Interesting topic. Most want the cold to go away. In Florida I do look forward to it cooling down a bit. Great write even if you missed it. joan marie

I love this poem, it is bright and cheery, even though you are writing about something that is cold. I love the presentation and style, the rhythm and rhyme just help it bounce along. Excellent work Kay

Glad you liked this Kay! He's a naught, sneaky bugger, taking off like that. But he'll be back, and probably deliver his icy artwork with a vengeance next year. Thank you so much for your comments as always my friend! xoxoxoxo

Sorry you missed the contest- bummer! This is a cute poem. I'm impressed that you stuck to a personal restriction of a four syllable per line count. That's not easy.

Thanks so much Jnetgame! Can't win 'em all, and in my case, can't ENTER 'em all! But your comments make up for it, so thanks again xoxoxoxox

Hit the road, Jack. LOL. Great ending to a very fun poem. And I bet you might like a piece of our chill right now. Very cute presentation and poem that just rolled on down the page with delightful steps. Great job, Chris. Joycexo

Thank you so much Joyce! Yes, would love to have a little bit of Mr Frost back again, but then when we're shivering our timbers next winter with Frost all around, we'll be wishing for summer again I'll bet ...

AGain, thanks so much for your wonderful comments! xoxoxoxo

So, you like the challenge to be 'stiff' eh? LOL!
Didn't think you got 'Jack' in sunny Oz.
I just spent five minutes checkin out the syllables as I fancied disciplin ya. LOL!
Great personification of 'Mr Frost',. Clever AND funny.
I doubt if he'd be welcome at those famous Aussie 'barbies', unless he brought some whisky ta go with his ice, LOL. Very enjoyable read, Chris.
Best wishes, Ray xx

omg, forgot about my reference to "stiff"!!! Shoulda changed it before you got in there ... (oh no, that could be taken a million different ways too ... )

We do get a touch of Mr Frost here, but only frost mind you. Snow has happened but years ago and I've not seen it here myself, though winter sure gets cold enough at times. The melting frost on our deck always amazes me as you can hear the roof cracking as it slowly expands with the winter sun and water drips down on everything, including me when I'm puffin' on my first smoke of the day.

Jack would be welcomed at our barbies actually, as he could sit on the many eski's of beer and wine and keep it to Australian standards of ice cold ... And I'd rather he brought brandy; whiskey or scotch gives me hemorroids, but that's another story ... (?) Ah well. Glad I am you popped in, read and enjoyed. Love yer comments and those five stars don't go astray either ... xoxoxoxoxox

If I see that mischiefmaker I will certainly send him back home to Australia. He is rather heavy-handed here in Missouri and though it isn't even winter offically yet, he has worn out his welcome! Excellent poem, my dear. And such great fun. Of course, my sixes are already gone. I think Tom should give us four of those a week instead of just two. Anyway, I really enjoyed the merry tone of this poem. Blessings to you, Linda

Thanks so much Linda! Pity I missed the prompt, but I thought maybe Jack'd hear my plea and come on back ... So far, he is obvious by his very absence.

Agreed about the sixes - there's so many good works out there which are exceptional. Still, the comments make up for it in my view, so thank you so much for your continued support and friendship xoxoxoxoxoxo

Of course it's summer for you down under and you're bracing for wild fires while we are bracing for wild winds and blizzards. I like the way the poem reads.

It has a nice readable bounce. A cute story, and would have given the others a run for the votes. Good one. I liked it.

Thanks buddy. Yeah, was a bit annoyed I didn't reserve a spot in this, but them's the breaks. Poems'r'poems regardless of whether they're contest entries or not, eh? So, thanks for your comments on this and next time I'll be more .. quick! The hazards of shuffling round like an old lady ... xoxooxoxo
