Old Jack Frost seems to be wearing out his welcome all over the nation, these days. May the Maid of Spring soon chase the old rascal away!

MaryGrace,
The surprise you evoke lies at the heart of this poem, the unexpected, the unusual gives it energy and makes it worthwhile.

This is a wonderful descriptive "cold-weather" poem. You did a terrific job of making me feel the frost beneath my feet and the cold air. I'm in the northern part of Florida and in the six years I've lived here, we've never had such a long cold spell as we're having now. I'm ready for spring!

MaryGrace,

Wonderful write taking you to a frozen Florida? That's a bit of an oxymoron. What a shock that must have been! Living in the the desert southwest,I think I would have fainted!

Oh, my, Mary Grace, that IS nippy for Florida! Y'all were colder than us, we were around 33. Warmed up to 49 ... stay warm, 'hear? (Never thought I'd say that to a Floridian! Maybe an Alaskan, yes. LOL)

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
