Aspen Grove Poem by Beach Girl
Aspen Grove
Wandering through the endless wood
I paused to gaze in silent awe.
In the aspen grove I stood
Heart awash by all I saw.
Golden bright those flickering flames
Aspen grove was all ablaze.
Sun kissed leaves as summer wanes
Blanket hills these autumn days.
Round and round the leaves they fall
Wisked from branches to the ground.
In the grove the trees grow tall
Whispering leaves the only sound.
Tall and silent stood the Mountain
King of all that stands below.
His servants bow, as all around them
Golden coins to him bestow.
Pocketing the hills and valleys
Boullion stowed for King above.
Fir and pinion here to tally
All that Aspen give in love.
Icy fingers steel around me
Bidding me to leave this wood.
Farewell to aspen, as I must
But wished to stay if only could.
With pockets full of pine cones
And hat adorned with leaves
I trudged away toward parts unknown
Or where'er this trail might lead.
I too sat under aspen trees at my local lake with my elderly yellow Labrador. I felt I was there in your aspen grove too.
1 a favorite line: " Golden coins to him bestow." Yiyan and Kostas L. (a friend) don't expend too much energy on typing. Gooe enough! st.5 I believe these lines are not complete sentences; this threw me off. I researched " pocketing" . Do you mean leaves are tucked away, as into pockets? (a rhetorical question) st.7 though i adore the poem (and you) , how about " adorned" ? to MyPoemList bri :)
ah ha! I see you used 'adorned' as I suggested; perhaps you'd had a typo (adored?) . bri
A very nice poem. This is your most recent, and it is from December 2020. Are you still with us, Beach Girl? I hope that you are well.
And MAYBE your 'new' photo on PH today is from your 'early twenties' ALSO! I already left comments & stars 'years ago'. : ) I hope you R well.
Who shines now more brightly, you or the golden autumn leaves? : ) bri
So, Ms. Beach, you wrote this poem when you were a mere slip of a girl. ;) bri
