Its been a hard winter but spring can't be far behind
Vital fluids slowly drip into the bucket below. Caught in black and white landscape of trees, snow and shadow in the early dawn. our breath forms clouds but breathing in we smell woodsmoke and new maple syrup. Surely the sweetest sign of spring.

Thanks Suzanne. It's not quite the season for maple syrup, although it's always good on pancakes and ice cream. But seems to be an element of randomness to the Soup's featuring poems.
