Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Winter's Fragile Hold

Spring transforms snowflakes into art
when 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 shimmering, liquid rainbows
flow wherever droplets amass.

Nature starts shading the landscape,
dabbing patches of green on white.
And soon, daffodils and tulips
sprout, within Spring's nurturing light.

Returning birds reclaim the skies,
as honking geese defy the cold.
And start migrating North to breed,
contesting Winter's fragile hold.
