QUAKING ASPENS

A walk in Autumn

 

QUAKING ASPENS

 

The quivering Aspens as they shimmered

Like gold dollars from a tree.

Too busy to care about

Either you or me.

 

They were so very beautiful.

 So far above the sea.

A place called Quaking Aspens.

Lovely nest for them to be.

 

Went there once, a friend and I,

The quivering Aspens just to see

The Aspens as they shimmered.

That was the year of ninety three.

 

Autumn comes but once a year

T’s just a passing season,

 To go just to see them shine

Quaking Aspens, that’s the reason.

 

Golden dollars, just dangling from a tree

They really never did take notice

What our Autumn dreams might be,

As rare a find as an Indian Lotus.

 

I wish you could see with me

The leaves so very bright.

Their Autumn hues glimmering

In a cool pale moon light.

Donna, such a lovely poem. I loved it. Like Daniel below, I too like poetry that rhymes. It's my style too. I am so glad Donald pointed me in the direction of WritersCafe ... and I look forward to reading more of your work and getting to know this community better.

I like rhyming poems. They are the more traditional type I prefer to read. Here on writers cafe there is so much modern style of 'Thought Poetry' which doesn't rhyme, is often vague, and doesn't really connect with me. This is ok. Daniel

It sounds awesome! The pictures you left for the reader is a painted fall picture! Beautiful!!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

You make me anxious for fall to get here... that was beautifully mesmerizing.
