'The Maple Tree' by Julia Johnston
As the maples, oaks, and other trees shed their royal colors, we start to see many signs that we should begin preparing for the cold that inevitably is to come.
The following poem was written by Avon Middle School student Julia Johnston.
Sits all alone in the grassy meadow
The dark brown suit covers the trunk of the tree
Find out what's happening in Avonwith free, real-time updates from Patch.
Branches sway back and forth
Blowing the orange and yellow autumn
Find out what's happening in Avonwith free, real-time updates from Patch.
Leaves right off to the ground.
Twirling down like tears
All alone in the meadow
Putting on an act to the fellows that walk by
Saddening minute by minute.
With the colors changing slowly
While the leaves fall rapidly
Crying because the maple tree is losing its leaves fast
Showing the mood of its feelings
All alone, leaves falling fast in the grassy meadow
The maple tree.
