summer warmth departs
maple retreats in a blaze
time to hunker down

Dear Anneli
GREAT!
It reminds me of when I first came to Canada in the autumn, when all the maples had turned red.
Thanks

It’s a good time to see the fall colours, especially in eastern Canada.

The maple is beautiful, but I’m even more taken by your leaf-strewn path. Now, that’s autumn!

Every year it looks pretty and makes a lot of work for us, but once they are cut up with the mower they make good garden mulch.

I think the wind has already shown us a taste of what’s ahead. But we’re tough. As long as my birds and squirrels and Emma are fed and warm enough, the wind can blow all it wants.

I´ve never seen such a beautiful colour of leaves on a maple tree, it is so pretty and your mini poem is nice too.

Thanks, Ursula. This is a very small-leafed maple, but the colours are quite intense for such a small tree.

I love your poem and the maple tree, Anneli! Maples are in the best show this time of the year.

Yes, they are bright and splashy, and then suddenly, after a cold snap and a bit of wind, they’re bare and forlorn like all the other deciduous trees.

That’s happening to us right now. The rain and wind speed up to send them to hibernation.

I agree about maples. We don’t have o, but my frien a Ross the road does. It’s fabulous.
Great haiku, too.
