Poetic Bloomings Photo Prompt Pantoum

Winter Ends

Whites, grays and blacks
Pennsylvanian winter
Iced-over river cracks
Icicles drop and splinter 

Pennsylvanian winter
Trees black silhouettes
Icicles drop and splinter
Gray cloud threats 

Trees black silhouettes
Snow crunches underfoot
Gray cloud threats
Coal furnaces scatter soot

Snow crunches underfoot
Wet cold chills to the bones
Coal furnaces scatter soot
Crows caw in raucous tones 

Wet cold chills to the bones
Icy water struggles to be free
Crows caw in raucous tones
Earth and sun disagree  

Icy water struggles to be free
Days grow long
Earth and sun disagree
Spring sings its song

Days grow long
Buds form anew
Spring sings its song
Grass pokes through  

Buds form anew
Sky blues and greens replace
Grass pokes through
Waters quicken their pace 

Sky blues and greens replace
Whites, grays and blacks
Waters quicken their pace
Iced-over river cracks
