I like this 5/7/5 very much. It shows a good sense of humour. I particularly like your third line 'Jack Frost's such a jerk' - very good. Good Luck in the contest. Regards Dorothy

car frozen solid
I must ride the bus to work
Jack Frost's such a jerk
This piece meets the criteria of the 5-7-5 prompt as the syllable count is correct. Good end rhyming with work/jerk. Clear message that is short, simple and filled with humor.

Your 5/7/5 syllabic format was very ingenious and clever and spoke to true words of one who lives in those situations of uninhabitable snow for many. I found your poem very humorous in a very facetious way. Thank you for posting and sharing your poem for everyone and may you have a good one is always.

This is a very nice poem. It gives us a clear scene. It tells that the car is frozen, so need to take another vehicle to go to office/work.
Great Work.
Thanks for sharing and All the best for the contest.

Catching the bus isn't the safest thing to do this year with the severely cold temps but I know many people who've had to do it although I think they did shut the buses down the one day.

    I know. I'm glad I'm off this weekend. It's -40 with the wind chill. Supposed to warm up next week. Thanks for the stars.

You ain't kiddin'! Battery's dead, doors frozen shut, ice, five inches thick, all over the windshield. It's enough to make a mid-westerner cry!

I don't know about you, but I am more than ready for spring. We have at least five more inches, or more, of ice and snow making its way here tomorrow. Have mercy!

Good stuff, I wish you the best of luck.

I like this, The humor is subtle and I like that you rhymed the last two lines. Very timely with all this bad weather we've been having
