With 10 million strokes

Jack Frost has covered

everything in jewels.



With 10 million strokes

the reflecting lake has painted

the face of the lion

who came to her shores.



With ten million strokes the

morning sun has painted all purple..

then he changed his mind

and with 10 million more

painted all pink and gold

and saffron.



And with 1 continuing

presence he has by eminent

domain taken Jack Frost's

jewels.



He does not need ten trillion

keys.. for all the icelocks

.. His presence is enough

all doors to unlock.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Not the illegal
eminent domain used
to take land from
the Arlington Texas
poor to build the
Rangers' Stadium
nor from Miss. farmers
to build a Nissan plant.
Eminent domain is
only for all, and only
when no other alternative
is available.

Writer's mother and
John Adams have both
written about the jewels
created by ice storms..
Mother wrote that
the morning sun stole
the jewels. John Adams
wrote that he had
seen the Queen of France
bedecked in jewels
.. a sight not as beautiful
as the ice storm
