Frost Burns
For The Vocal Frosted Verse Challenge
Introduction
I wasn't going to do another challenge entry, but today there is a heavy frost so I thought why not, and while I like winter and frost, I also like being warm so I am drinking and Irish Latte Coffee.
The music is the excellent "I Smell Winter" by The Housemartins
Frost Burns
🌲⛄🕸️☃️❄️☃️🕸️⛄🌲
I Am The Shining, Glittering Frost
Coating All Life In Gleaming Silver
Trees, Flowers, Animals Bear My Cost
My Presence Always Make You Shiver
❄️
Decorating Spiders' Webs In White
Evergreen Trees Are Silvered By Me
Touch Me I'll Burn You, Frosty That's Right
But You Are Seduced By My Beauty
❄️
I Even Make You Snowmen Glitter
When You See Me You Know That It's Cold
Wrap Up Now, The Wind Is So Bitter
Trees All Silver, After Autumn Gold
❄️
I'm The Harbinger Of Winter Long
I Know You'll Be Happy When I'm Gone
🌲⛄🕸️☃️❄️☃️🕸️⛄🌲

Changing The Duvet Cover
Introduction Today I changed the duvet cover and was reminded of the accurate meme above. So I thought I would write a villanelle about the trials and tribulations of doing this. I do wonder whether this should be a Humor Community piece or a Poetry piece but it's only two hundred words or so, so that means Poetry with a Humor tag.

More than you know
Jan 1,1979 Dexter Gordon was live at the Carnegie Hall, and had one of my favorite concerts. He reads the lyrics like poetry, sounding like soft velvet before he turns those words into pure music that makes me feel like I’m Ann Margret in “Made in Paris” where she is on the balcony watching the show in Paris and states “who needs to drink when I'm drunk enough on life” that’s how I feel, especially when the saxophone is playing. Ann Margret also sings the same song, an American Standard- More than you know. One of the most beautifully written songs. This 1979 concert is also in one of the most famous music venues from 1891, truly breathtaking when you hear him play there.

This was so snowy amazing! Loved your poem!
Lovely. The image of the spider webs is spot on! The rhyming coupled at the end is so poignant also 💜I love winter TBF
The last line is kind of sad, there is a beauty to winter
Just plain beautiful and your Irish coffee sounds delicious.
This is lovely. Well done.
