A week ago the ice still thick, began to melt away, vernal pools, reflected trees, shoulder-to-shoulder thick as thieves in the woods whispering on quiet winds; "Vernal pools you silly fools," they chided from lofty, know-it-all heights. “Winter has not said goodbye, the groundhog guru told us so, now back to sleep you must go.”

While the ice
will come

winter stays

not foe.
