Icicle Frost

Sparkles, dances, and paints

no way considered saints

Darkness descends over the land

winds of change aren't planned.

No one sees you, you are invisible

A giant or a nymph inquisible

Windows, windshields, and plants

decorated in white swirl rants.

Nature dresses the world in mysterious ways.

A brilliant light show ends our day.

Awaking to a frozen sight 

for pity's sake the cold bites.

Jokul Frosti isn't a quack.

Jokul was anglicized to Jack

a folklore for the long dark nights

to survive the winter delights.

Cold and magic in the air

causes one to stop and glare.

Bites our toes, and stings our nose.

That's the way winter goes.

Jokul Frosti or Jack Frost,

winter has its magical cost.

Enjoy the frost when it's here

and be grateful for another year.
