Blanketed in glistening white crystalline shimmering expanses brightly glow. Shivering with chill of Arctic air that brings animation to the land of snow. Frosty, can you hear this child that's calling you, see your way with eyes of coal so dark? Here, within this moment, might such things come true.... let imagination be your spark. Wrap your scarf more tightly 'gainst the blustery winds. Tip your top-hat down and hold on tight. As your transformation through this storm begins trip the light fantastic "Frosty White" Few have ever called you by your Christian name, fewer still, believe you story's true, just to see you dance was worth it all the same, far too swiftly did this storm pass through. Let the parting clouds be as a curtain drawn, and the stars bear witness that we've met, as approaches yet another winters' dawn this is not one soon I will forget. |

Amazing creativity! Excellent form, too! Great job, through and through. And, I'd say there is plenty of reason to continue writing...my enjoyment! Well, and yours, of course. *Grins* |

I enjoyed this. In the last line, I think I'd rephrase it more like 'This is one I'll not forget'. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

From a Florida Cracker Woman who has never seen enough snow at one time to make a snowman - I LOVE IT!! I could see it all  I collect snowmen, and I am often tempted to keep them out all summer just to make it seem cooler in the house lol. I could just read this every day from April to November, no? Caroline the only man worth your tears will never make you cry |

Dr.Moose, I'm so glad to read a post of yours again--it seems that you may not have been posting for a while or I just didn't read on the right days! I loved this! And especially, I liked the way you may have intended contrast by using the word, spark. It caused my spark of imagination to begin melting Frosty away until you set me right back on track with the setting. My, a nice journey you took us, while not leaving the comfort of a warm home!

   (big angel hugs) I have always loved the occasional snow here and I always loved Frosty the Snowman and still watch it each year living with the boy in my heart, sweet friend, the ending always made me cry when he melted away like a good friend passed on but I know he will always come back when it snows, yay! God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet William, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

S Arthur Grey, Sorry for delay I'd actually forgotten I'd posted this. Happy Holidays. Doc passing shadows, Thanks, a few minor mistakes which I may yet try to correct. Joy to you and yours. Doc Masked Intruder, Thank you. There are a couple of things I'd change about this on re-visiting, just minor corrections. I'm glad you enjoyed. Noel. Doc Pilgrimage. Thanks, and, so right you are. That last line just didn't flow right. Guess I'llhave to take it to the moderators now though, as my time is up. Merry, Merry! Doc ice, Thanks, we're in the middle of another white-out here, and I think I may just join in the dance this time, instead of just watching. Peace be with you , friend. Doc Caroline, Ahh, Florida! Been there once, the only ice I saw was in my drinks. I'd be glad to send you some though, as of today we've got 8" level snow, after some rain, and we're due for a foot more. Frosty will definately get to take to the dance floor again. Merry Christmas Doc Elizabeth, Thanks so much. Your descriptive writings have been part of my motivation for years, and so, hopefully, I learn. Best wishes for you and those close to you. Doc Sadelite, Thank you. I am sorry for the delay in replying. I actually forgot about this post until it popped up in my library. you're right, I have not been posting as often, which I consider as being my loss, be that as it may, best wishes for you and your for the holidays. Doc Noah, What can I say, my friend? If anyone ever embodied the holiday spirit, it is you. If Santa ever needed a replacement, my vote is yours. Merry Christmas. Doc Drew, Dang Man! Where does the time go to? All the best to you and your also! Doc MidniteSun, Thank you. I truly hope your holidays are filled with joy. Doc |
