Softened snow melts from the roof
freezing into tangles of icicles ~
barren vines awaiting spring flowers
3.
Sunshine brightens leaves crisped
in autumn and winter ~
barren vines await spring blossoms
“Where, twisted round the barren oak,
The summer vine in beauty clung,
And summer winds the stillness broke,
The crystal icicle is hung.”
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
**Authors note:
My ability to transfer the top and bottom photos has not done justice to these amazing icicle formations.
Mr. Longfellow says this so much better! (except it's not even spring yet.)
