Winter's Fragile Hold
Spring transforms snowdrifts into art
as frigid days begin to warm.
And water and ice meld, sculpting
Queen Anne's lace in crystalline form.
Clinging to snowy roofs and eaves,
icicles sparkle like wet glass.
And shimmer like liquid rainbows
as glistening droplets amass.
Nature starts shading the landscape
dabbing patches of green on white.
And soon, daffodils and tulips
sprout within Spring's nurturing light.
Migrating geese reclaim the skies
as honking birds defy the cold.
And start returning north to breed,
contesting Winter's fragile hold.
(Quatrain)
