Captured Aspen Leaves
Tart lemon leaves on aspen trees
toss on the breeze for a season.
Aspens speak in quiet splashes.
Blowing below blue autumn hues,
adorning arm-like branches
colored sails swirl round in layers.
When wind forces, leaves disrobe trees,
refueling ground so branches rebound,
left bare wearing winter’s makeup.
