Jack Frost and his Flakes
In the still of the night The landscape transformed As Jack Frost and his Flakes Became a winter storm ~ They danced and they sang A finely choreographed number Chilling the air As the town folks did slumber ~ Jack and his Flakes Reached far and wide Freezing everything, they could Leaving nowhere to hide… Read More Jack Frost and his Flakes
Remnant
