Frost the Man

Inspired by Jack Frost written by Gabriel Setound located in A Children’s Book of Verse, Illustrated by Eric Kincaid, Poems selected by Marjorie Rogers. (Brimax Books)

With a finger he create a stencil of intricate pattern of 100 capades on windows, doors, house on trees of green foliage he do

No entry safe he cartwheels the way in and play the piper, jester who left a castle everywhere

Knight of chivalry a rose of ice painted on door of each maiden fair or not

Breath by breath he grins as each escapade of frosty coloring rings the door saying let me in

Party by party he jauntly decorates scrolls of white coloring on cups, plates, and cakes of delicious clear for a joyous occasion clear

Clicking heels together he says I savoire-faire of ice that marries a bird of delight decorate with hair tiered in shimmering white frost delight
