In flame
leaves of maple
cascade from twisted limbs
to settle on fresh fallen snow's

Show off, nailing it on your first go. :)
That's why I think this format is so good, it has a visual impact on the mind instantly, no faffing about. (i totally need to say faffing more often):)
A very apt description for this time of year, almost picture postcard scene.

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks Lorry. Great way of getting imagery over. Not easy though, you have to concentrate. Faffing, that's a good word. I've mentioned it again just for you :)

All my tree are naked now. Now I must rake-up and wait for Spring to come back. I do like the four seasons. Thank you Chris for sharing the amazing poetry.

Maples are our autumn atmosphere and still color the acres about.
But I am happy to leave the snow in your nicely done rhyme

Many thanks Dave. Wanted to try a cinquain as I hadn't written one before. They are all about imagery.

I was noticing a sugar maple today. They are indeed beautiful trees. This poem painted a beautiful picture of the red leaves on a background of white snow. I would love to see what a skilled photographer could do with such a scene. Nice work.

[Chris Shaw]

There are some nice images on the Internet of snow and red maple leaves. Thank you so much for your review John.

interesting to read this today...earlier we were playing tennis....and suddenly a big wind came up for just a few seconds...but needless to say, the court was covered in old maple leaves...
maples remind me always of Vermont...a place so near and dear to my heart.
this poem strikes a nerve...a good one.

[Chris Shaw]

Hello Jacob, pleased to know that my cinquain about maple leaves reminded you of a place which is near and dear to your heart. Thank you for your response.
