Maples

 Maples have long life spans
 Most are deciduous
 Makes great stringed instruments
 Many have bright fall hues
 Marked by crimson and gold
 Much loved by bird species
 Marvelous bell shaped blooms

Rereading this one you did for my contest 2 years ago. I am curious what you used for Robs contest in this form. I hope I gave him one he will like a lot! It's hard to know what some judges are going to like best.😊

Maples, as you state, are a wonder of nature. They give good shade in summer. This is a worthy tribute to this tree.

Hello Joe, I love maples, and one is in my yard. Being guitarists, I know they make great instruments. I also loved your use of M words. Autumn Blessings, MY Friend, Daniel
