Coronation
by Rick Brentlinger
(Pace, FL, USA)
Maple tree ablaze with color
Drift fluttering to the ground;
They left the starkly barren limbs,
All lifeless now, uncrowned.
Limbs etched against a sullen sky,
Bereft of rustling leaves;
The solitary maple stands
And in the moonlight grieves.
While gently falling snowflakes
Drifting silent on the breeze;
Create a royal diadem
Upon the grieving trees.
The glistening iridescent flakes
An ermine crown now form;
And once again the maple wears
A kingly crown at morn.
to get saved?
