Autumn poem

Dear Editor:

Has Mother Nature  with all the scarlet trees conspired
When they in their full glorious crimson  are attired
Or has she chosen a plan, that to will to all endear
When they in their full  carmine hue will appear?
Did Mother Nature require every maple tall
To guard her beauty even longer this fall?
Or has this final glorious gift been extended
Only to the eyes open to receive the gift she intended?               

Sytske Drijber,
Rockwood
