it is
the maple wind
ushering in hope
That Sweetness In The Air
For Generations
in the sugar patch
old metal buckets
wearing their hats of snow
Made On The Maple
each texture
a distinct form of life
together creating a new universe
Arched Window
outside the church
red leaves and red brick
join in prayer
The Circle Is Never Broken
the decaying maple stump
an ancient landscape
for the pine seedling
The Timelessness of Koi
eternity knows
only
shadow and light
Budding Young Artist
spring’s canvas
is the landscape
growth is her medium
A Marriage Of Maple And Birch
distinct
and yet
together
The Maple
heralding
the season change
a deepening of golds to red
The Maple That Is Sunshine
like splashes
of the sun
fall’s fine finish
Magnificence
I gloried
in the maple
taking her color as my strength
Color Burns In The Rain
maple flames
birch trails
white smoke
Fallen Maple
we will remember
her sweetness
when she warms us
this winter
For Hungry Eyes
sweet
the sight
of maples budding
All Of It
instruction of
the maple bloom
reach out for everything
Sugared Leaves
the season of sweetness
not just
maple’s dominion
Sweetness
maple lace
almost sweeter
than syrup
Maple on Birch
at meadow’s edge
maple turns
summer’s page
Summer Surrounded
season change
maple frames
the baled hay
Primary Colors
yellow bird
amid red buds
awaits blue sky
Maple Blush
the landscape wears
a rosy glow
arousing all of spring
Luminary
snowing light
the maple tree’s
luminosity
Alighted
hope
is faith’s comrade
keeping us afloat
One by One
each leaf
in their own time
glory then the fall
Road Signs
full stop
traffic jam
of autumn’s color
Sensei
master teacher
of color
Japanese maple
Tableau Vivant
forest tableau
a soft rendering
of November
Blaze
maple
sends up
a final flare of color
Thirst
edges drink the colors
of weather and time
which paint the leaves
Red Dress
The maple
in her red dress
turns heads
