6:30 A.M.

a black and white photo of a cross made of ice

Spring break-up, ice shards
Tinkle as they float and pile
And shift as they melt.

The lake is alive
It can chatter when freezing
Tinkles when melting.

Icy
Lake
Dangerous

Spring
Leaves
Pop

Summer
Garden
Abundant

Winter is ending
Snow is melting, slushy mess
Not a pretty time.

Ice gets dark, mushy
Before breaking into shards
Tinkling in the breeze.
