THE BEAUTIFUL FIELDS AND TREES OF MISSOURI IN THE AUTUMN
It is a beautiful fall weekend in Missouri. Colors abound… the trees shout with joy as we drive towards the southern part of the state. There isn’t a more beautiful site this time of the year than corn fields, soybean fields, and the trees turning into their beautiful gold, reds, and brown hues. I could look at the trees forever…..they are so inspiring.
Brings to mind a poem I wrote a couple of years ago about the trees….seems to fit in here as the seasons change.
A COLLAGE
I
There stands the tree,
shelter for the birds
waving its arms, waving them in
II
Can it be envy that
the tree there has, with the
color of green
III
They fall to the ground
as if they were sails, those
big leaves of the tree.
Falling, falling, falling
IV
They stand tall
soldiers of the time
shading against the heat
protecting in the rain
trees
V
Tops of sponge like color
varied shades of green
Trees fill the roadside with
rows of browns and greens
Difference in barks
gives value of distinction
VI
Seasons have changed
snow is falling
flames are abundant
the green is gone
the tree is in sections
a blaze in the pits
They soon will be bare and the snow will highlight their strength!
