Very clever and most adorable! Good Old Frosty coming to say hello! Or was that Jack Skellington trying to steal Christmas again! LOL!

The sky was black and frigid cold,
each star wrapped in its cloud. The bitter wind blew brash and bold, it whistled, moaned and howled. He stood outside the window's glare, obese with body round. His coal black eyes would nought but stare, from mouth came not a sound. Near seven feet, his silouette, well shadowed on the deck, 'twas on his head a derby set. A scarf around his neck... His presence here fills me with fright! I wish he'd promptly go! Ah, there's the switch to pow'r the light. Well,well, he's made of snow! ······· ······· |

Hi Ron,
I see you mixed in some trimeter lines with tetrameter. A pleasant snow man suspense for a surprise Christmas revelation. Thanks for the seasonal gift. Don

Hello Ron~
 I fondly sing the classic song, "Frosty the Snowman" softly in my mind, as I read your lovely piece and my best childhood memories are brimming! A lovely and sweet poem, perfect for the holiday! Happy holidays to you!  Lindi ······· ·······"Imagination is more important than knowledge and encircles the world"

Ron,
Wouldn't be the holidays without the visuals of snow and snowmen. Even for those of us who rarely experience a snowy holiday ! Loved this! Is a lovely holiday entry ! Marcia
