Brilliant mosaics

Posted on October 7, 2013 by tyler4turtles

Cottonwood leaves
the size of saucers 
fall haphazardly
from treetop hutches 
across the lawn,
their gilded cellulose 
still intact, setting
Autumn’s tableau,
before footsteps crunch   
cuticles into thousands
of pieces, littering 
earth with brilliant 
mosaics.

        So far, it has been inspiring. I taught a writing class this morning, and I fell a little in love with all my students. How precious that relationship is, student and teacher. 🙂 Peace and joy to you and yours, Brenda

    My cottonwood tree is not nearly as poetic as yours.

      You are too kind, Andrea! Thank you, my friend 🙂 We all have poetrees whose leaves will fall only for us – our voices are equally valuable in and of themselves. Have a wonderful day, my friend!
      Cheers,
      Tyler 🙂
