Maple trees- you stand tall Meeting October's change- Melding to burnished golds. Midst our Autumn splendor- Mark shedding as goodbye. Meer naked, you'll sleep till March- as buds wake again.

I'm so pleased you liked it, Andrea, and thank you for my placement. Mere means pure and simple, nothing more and nothing less
