some say the world will end in fire  
some say in ice  
while they fulfill every desire  
and separate, higher and higher  
for you -- no effort will suffice  
they'll pat you on the back: "oh, great  
but please do better, that'd be nice  
and do not hate  
that is a vice"

**Author notes:** wc 52 The prompt is the saying itself -- Winter Is Coming -- as well as the name of the series, The Song of Ice and Fire -- fitting right into Robert Frost's poem https://allpoetry.com/contest/2785850--Winter-is-Coming----Quotes-from-Game-of-Th and with apologies to Robert Frost https://allpoetry.com/poem/8469255-Fire-And-Ice-by-Robert-Frost
