Trembles The Tree

A Poem by Chris Shaw


shivers in autumn
cascading gold smothers green
barely a blade seen

God made a quilt out of leaves...and it is keeping the grass warm.

Nice one Chris...I just went outside to search for a blade....but we have so many trees here that the grass is totally covered...and the quilt goes snap, crackle, pop as I walk through it.
relate to this one, big time.

worth every penny :)
I had a home that had several Cottonwoods (Aspens) in the backyard surrounding my deck. It took very little breeze for the leaves to move, rustling and dancing. It was great until the fall when I had to rake up 40 lawn bags full. A lot of people call them dirty trees but I liked them.
Thanks for the reminder Chris

The gentle quiet of a fall day captured beautifully, I can almost smell it. Soon a blanket of white will adorn the gold. The "shivers" feel like an omen. Also a wonderful metaphor on life, in the autumn of our span how many green blades can yet be seen?

I like autumn and the reds and the chill. Better than the thick of summer we're getting into now.

Here in Michigan. Winter had arrived. The leave are on the ground and the cold winds are here. Very nice use of words dear Chris. I liked the four seasons. I return to Michigan. The Texas and Georgia heat. Too hot. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.
