Ice falls from the sky
fluffy and flouncing his crystalline smile.

His dressings of white
make a sweet lullaby
sound phony.

His chilling allure
sets up a scene so demure,
we come pining.

I’ve only seen him a few times before.
The sightings are often
in dreams and nevermore.

Today Jack Frost is scheming
with him.
I can see them
plotting cloudline, again.

I didn’t think I’d see them coming
so soon.

Every morning,
the dew is crisp and warning
us of what’s above,
covering a shining sun
and darkening.
clouds fill in,
drowning the mute blue sky’s crys.

Clouds jigsaw and shimmy around,
silencing mountains and moonbeams
abounding low ground.

Ice is calling
to the Winter Queen’s north winds
to sweep him
down upon scenic overlooks and steady streams, again.

He’s eager
and dressing to attune to a finer delight.
Galloping along solstice winds, gaging his magnificent plight.

Plummeting down
over hills, over stone.
He’s collecting on rooftops,
tree branches, and all the bare bones.


They’re calling,
yearning to be well-known
like him, his majesty,
The prince of ice and snow

    What a beautiful winter poem that captures both the beauty and coldness of the snow.

      Thank you, Linda πŸ’— I can’t believe Christmas is so close, now!! We are almost there ☺️. We have our lights up and pretty much finished all of our Christmas shopping and wrapping. We started early this year and wrapped as packages arrived haha πŸ˜‚. I hope you’re having a good holiday season. I’m going to take a trip to your page and enjoy some traveling πŸ™‚πŸ˜ƒ. I’m sure we’ll speak to each other before Christmas on here but if not, Merry Christmas β›„πŸŽ„

        I have actually never seen the Christmas Story. I’ll have to check it out if it’s one of your favourites.

        Aw, you’re incredible Linda πŸ’— I love reading your comments and posts. They really pick me up right when I need it πŸ™‚ . I think you’ll enjoy it ☺️ . It’s very cleverly written and scripted and so relatable to our childhoods when you’re waiting for Christmas excitedly and counting down the days. It’s awesome. I hope you have a very happy new year !!!
