Best Maple Leaf Poems

I see you there in forest deep
When the world is still asleep
You ...the defiant one
With your hardened backside 
Turned to me

And I ... hearing through frozen ears
The cracking whispers that you speak
Before you fall in utter silence
The last leaf of autumn
At my feet...

Our flag makes us proud no matter where we roam
Proud as beavers about this great land called home
A maple leaf is our symbol
An image so simple
Yet so meaningful in the hearts of all us gnomes...

maple leaf slowly
turns yellow reflects from creek..
lone curled leaf floats down

More leaves fall from the same tree
They dance carried on the wind  

yellow maple leaf
lands upon a rounded stone...
fall's decoration

fierce winds whip the trees
and leaves blow across garden..
lawn of yellow leaves

Yellow reflected 'pon lake
Teardrop...

The maple leaf a symbol of Canada, red and white official colors,
Thousand of designs, years of exhausting debate, finally unfurled in 1965;
It adorns the tombstones of military graves, it flutters above my great county.

I’ll put a maple leaf on your soft palm.
And when the train arrives, I’ll kiss you gently.
My careless angel, you are leaving now.
“Bear up,” I’ll say as usual, “Don’t forget me”.

I cannot give you all the things you need.
I am a person you can just...

the brooch is the sugar maple shape of Canada's national tree
created by the jeweler Aspry &Co
with many dazzling brilliant cut diamonds
inherited by Queen Elizabeth 11 in 2002 from her mother
and she loved it  . . .  wearing it often high on her right...

I watched a maple leaf’s descent to ground.
It’s downward swaying motion, every now
And then a pirouette without a sound
until it came to rest so gently down.
I asked myself: A life so brief and yet
So beautiful, is life to be defined
By lasting time and taken for...

English Haiku Three Verse Poem©
 
A maple leaf came
Floating down to the ground
In a breeze of wind
And settled right there
Where there was no maple tree,
Only dying grass.

It would never live 
Again, no matter the springs 
That came after snows.

I see the October sky best through a maple leaf.
I had no idea what he meant, this guy named Reif.
So he showed me how he views October through a leaf.
It has to be maple, so you can wish on it he said with pure belief....

A bright red maple leaf rests in the road
Fallen with many stories to be told
Its beauty remains on the pavement to see
As in life, we may tumble on our way to be free

No fallen journey lacks lessons to learn
Even while falling, brings us concern
We can...

The young Maple Leaf stands there,
Canada's favorite tree.

The young sapling,,
Layered to perfection.

Admired by Canadians everywhere,
Sign for our Canadian hockey team.

A beautiful tree to behold,
Leaves swaying in the breeze.

The Maple Leaf is a coveted song,
Sung by choirs and soloists.

Beautiful to behold,
Perfect in shape and form.

I view...

a dry maple leaf
sets sail into the unknown…
puddles rough with wind
