I've Missed You Jack











I’ve missed you Jack,
and your nightly visits
when air is crisp
and cold assaults us.

I’ve missed you Jack,
leaving your bouquets
of leaves and petals
on window panes.

I’ve missed you Jack,
youth spent searching
for your presence
in morning light.

I’ve missed you Jack,
crystalline paintings
shielding us from
the days harshness.

I’ve missed you Jack,
giving us space
to sign our names
with chilled fingertips.

I’ve missed you Jack,
insulation preventing
you artistic license, till now
Welcome home Jack Frost,

    Amazing what crytalizing ice will take form as. Almost like a painting from Mother Nature ... or in this case, Mr Frost

    Super post Cheryl !

    I love seeing the designs that are created by frost on different surfaces. especially glass, with a sunrise behind it.

    Hmmmmm... we’ve only had some glimpses/sightings of Jack this winter (here in Birmingham). I have enjoyed the way you’ve personified Jack in this poem, Cheryl. Lovely.

    So true Eric, sunrise is the perfect backdrop to see all the patterns, makes you ponder how and why? Cheryl

    Thank you Cath, such wonderful memories as a munchkin and in a way was happy to see him return. He's something todays kids may not ever see, crossing fingers they will :) Cheryl
