...remembrances of childhood days

 


I had almost forgotten


my favorite springtime toy


‘til I returned to the clime


of my childhood days.


 


Standing tall and majestic,


the maple produces a magical


winged seed, spiraling down


when blown by soft winds.


 


Oh, the delight to watch these


with a twist and a turn,


such gracefulness to a child’s eye,


they silently descend to the ground.


 


What constancy to behold:


natures choreographed ballet.


The winged seed of the maple,


a remembrance of a simpler life of play.
