Thin-drawn frost paintings
Hug my window this morning
Angling condensation into
Nautilus patterns, or ferns.
Knowing physics is what
Shapes patterns on this
Glass, and how crystal forms independent of vision
Innocent of the beauty it creates is no less magic than that
Vagabond Jack
Intent on his art
Navigating the spring he spins,
Giggling mischief, teasing bloom from frozen air
We are doing acrostics for Dverse today. My best Thanksgiving wishes to my friends in the US.
Susan Daniels Poetry 
What a lovely acrostic. Happy Thanksgiving 🙂
Thanks, Green!
How beautiful, Susan! Happy Thanksgiving from overseas!
Thank you, Miriam!
And a happy Thanksgiving to you. May you enjoy a peaceful shopping-free weekend.
Thanks, Terry, and to you too–that’s the plan. No Black Friday-ing here.
I’m glad to hear it. Enjoy your friends and family. Peace.
“I’m crap at acrostics” she say’s – a week passes – “I lied” she admits, albeit cryptically… tsk – a pornographer and a liar – I shudder to think what’s next. How my porcelain gods have fallen!
LOL, Mike–this is only the second one I have ever attempted…
What, lie or pornography! 😀
LOL, neither–the acrostic. Pleading the fifth about either lies or pornography…
Nice work, fun read.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks, Nelle. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
nautilus patterns or ferns. how wonderful! I love “how crystal forms independent of vision” !
Thank you, Jane 😉

Claudia–thank you! I have so enjoyed meeting you and reading your words.
Beautiful imagery. Doesn’t it make lovely patterns on glass too. 🙂
Oh, thank you–yes, I love the patterns.
So well done, Susan. Wonderful images that come from careful observation.
Thank you, Victoria.

Oh, thank you Brian!
Vagabond Jack…nice job using the acrostic form…appreciate the capture of weather’s fanciful impact during this holiday.
🙂 thank you!
Fun: ” creates is no less magic …” Indeed, depth of knowledge, connections, causality and yet-to-be-explored can be much richer than just the simple view. Well penned.
Sabio, thank you.
So very clearly drawn, all those images of frost, that I can almost feel the chill. Wonderful acrostic! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thanks, Sam, I did, and so glad you liked this. Don’t think you celebrated this with a dinner the way we do here, but I certainly got gratitude from your poem, which was lovely…
Beautiful! It was a warm Thanksgiving here, but it certainly has been the frost-filled wonderland you described 🙂
Oh, thank you! It was a joy to wake up to a few days ago.
Such a wonderful acrostic, Susan! It’s chillingly sweet! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hank
Oh, thank you, Hank!
