Very nice poem. We had several ice storms here as well. There were no bus services. LOL. Your 5-7-5 syllable count is in good order. The poem reads well. Nice job.

Oh, this is good! You've been to my house, haven't you? Although there are no buses that run out this way so I just get a day off, which I enjoy until I get my next check!!

That love/hate relationship with Jack is turning to hate/hate, isn't it!

the only suggestion is on the last line, it's a little tongue-twisty so maybe say "Jack Frost, he's a jerk

Either way, it is really cute!

    Thanks for the suggestion and the great review. I think most of the country is ready to murder Jack Frost. LOL

    I don't think it is ever going to end. It is still snowing where I live and I could deal with that but we are also having 20-30 mph winds and all that does is irritate me and make the dogs not want to go outside to go potty!

This is very cute little 5-7-5. Your syllable count is right on and it made me smile. You managed to make an experience. That is no fun into a very fun 5-7-5.... good luck in your contest. :)

I've read quite a few entries listed for this contest, and there are some really good poems. I'd include this one in that group as well. It is well written and has the humour as well.

Good luck.

This really makes clear the current disenchantment with winter. I don't blame everyone - it's been so cold for so long. (70 degrees in Central Texas today, though - I can't complain.) Good luck to you. Jeanie Mercer

Cute poem! It tells a complete story which is difficult to do with so few words. The poem flows nicely and has a strong cadence when read out loud. Your poem is humorous, which is nice. You have done a good job! I like your poem and can relate.

That's putting it mildly. I think everyone's had enough of Mr. Frost's antics. At least you had clear roads so you could ride a bus, lol. Hugs, Lou
