Behold
the beauty
...sidewalk art
It fell from the tree
after the workers had gone
His tree mates raked and bagged
...but this one got away to declare
he once belonged to the mighty maple
standing next to the spreading mighty oak
but in their season even mother trees must
let go

Dear Suz, What a charming 'concrete poem' to celebrate the glory of autumn leaves. In the land of the Maple Tree this must truly be the most wonderful of seasons. And, just a touch of sadness in your poem which well fits the hint of a bitter winter yet to come.

Dear Edith, the garden, for me, is still a bit of Eden left
ReplyDeleteThere I find peace and beauty and joy
You'll find no Latin Names in my garden...only a deep love for all that grows....and wishes to share my bounty...even the tiny field mouse brings me a moment of joy...
