A slim, willowy tree
gives a youthful glance,
tosses glossy red curls
in a siren dance.
Grasses cut right
then swish-sashay
to the left, meeting
the tree midway.
The golden sun
lingers to play,
setting the finale ablaze
on the fine autumn day.

Beautiful! I haven’t heard from you for while, I suppose, since I’m so rarely on WP recently. How is it going?

All is well, busy, fun. I actually painted a bird to pair with a poem for a friend, and I thought of you. 🙂 How are you feeling? Better, I hope!

This really was beautiful in its setting autumn in its personal elements. I could listen to more examples of red maple’s enchanting quality. ❤

Autumn is the prettiest season. I know spring gets all the credit, but I love me some autumn. 🙂

I agree. Autumn is my favorite. The colors are so intense and balanced. In spring, nearly everything is a shade of green. In autumn, all the secret colors emerge.

They’re really special, and thank goodness there are some here too, as autumn colours in Rome are nothing to write home about 🙂

If there were fewer, I guess they would stand out even more. We have lots of trees, here, and I love them.
