Maple Poems

Oh, Dear Maple Tree

Fifty-seven years ago, we planted you;
    That huge tornado came- yet, you stand true.

Mighty Maple MAGA

While leaves will fall where they may 
The gusts of gusto have their way
Amid dark winter we can but pray
As south winds make her bare limbs sway
And budding spring is so far away 
Might our maple not be felled by decay

To Frost: Regarding The Diverging Paths

“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood….”

Robert,
You let the split remain unresolved,
and while we stand in awe,
staring at your crossroads
etched in gold and shadow,
do you ever wonder
what lay beyond the path
you did not take?
Even though you say,
“I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.”

Did the road arch upward,
an unfamiliar melody

Autumn Maple Leaves

Vivid red maple leaves
Arrays of scarlet changing
Future appears bright

Reflections

under maple leaves,
autumn whispers to the stream—
crimson shadows fall
a lone crane bends to the light
graceful in the fading glow

maple syrup

I want maple syrup
For breakfast I had pancakes
Slathered in peanut butter and maple syrup
My lunch was meatloaf
The topping was maple syrup, ketchup and mustard
After supper I have a little warm coffee
I bet you ca guess what I used to sweeten it

The Maple Leaf

The Maple Leaf By SWA (Suzanne)

At night in the day
you visit by transport
of the wind a message sings in the distance
you come from a residence or hand that 
placed you here, how you knew nature 
speaks to my very soul!
Yet...as I get closer silence
no whisper I hear
What is that message?
What is the reason?
Are you stalking

Sugar Maple Home

To be left bare to all rhyme and most reason
From gnarled wounds of sweet nectar eaten
A Mother whom suckled life, now weakened
Still they come in glee, lapping there the given

In her bloomed bouquet of chronomantic hues
She was resplendent as she captivated views
Coyly she stripped away at her prophetic news
Fall has come to hibernate into his

Maple

melange of bright colors
makes maple majestic.
most regal, it stands proud.
maroon, brown and orange,
make a kaleidoscope.
mighty grows its grooved trunk
magnificence of Fall.

Maple

Mixed warm, cool days moisture
Maple leaves transform from
Midsummer's green to red
Make fall's crown, or golden
Maidenhead "Goldie Locks" 
Magnificent leaves twirl
Magnify gold on the lawn     

Maples

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.

The View of the Sugarbush

Rippling soil sways in ways
In ways a maestro drunkenly
Displays their baton, Earth in
Perfect fluid Earthen motion
It conducts and plays en tandem
The symphony of syrup season
Rings through Vermont’s silken air
Each movement weaves effortless
In majesty.

Hickory smoke leaves the sap house
The chorus of birch bark harkens
Weaving through the chimney’s maw
A mirror of the lone sugarmaker
His jaw a practiced

Sugar Maple

Sugar Maple was a beautiful tree
Just as pretty as a tree can be
With a solid and straight trunk so strong
And reaching ever up with graceful arms
Sugar Maple was enjoying some little fame
From folks near and far, from everywhere they came
To admire Sugars autumn gown of red
She shook her limbs and flipped her ginger head
