Poem

At night, the fairies came out--

a kaleidoscope of stars--

flittering in the moon’s light

over the treetops,

painting the leaves with

golds and auburns.


Twirling yellows and reds,

twisting to the ground,

softly landing, cushioning

the hardened forest floor--

blankets for the small

woodlands’ creatures.



The tree, now bare, naked--

stands tall, surrounded

by the plethora of a

Crayola colored ground,

sprinkled with white

winter.


Its branches reaching

toward the greying

sky--moving upwards,

grasping at the clouds as

they raced with the wind.





La nuit, les fées sont sorties...
un kaléidoscope d'étoiles...
voletant à la lumière de la lune
au-dessus de la cime des arbres,
peindre les feuilles avec
ors et auburns.

Des jaunes et des rouges virevoltants,
se tordant vers le sol,
atterrissage en douceur, amorti
le sol de la forêt durcie--
couvertures pour les petits
créatures des bois.


L'arbre, maintenant nu, nu--
se tient debout, entouré
par la pléthore d'un
Fond de couleur Crayola,
saupoudré de blanc
l'hiver.

Ses branches atteignant
vers le grisonnement
ciel - se déplaçant vers le haut,
saisir les nuages ​​comme
ils couraient avec le vent.
