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
