autumn secrets

December 8, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner

sealed from the wind
beneath a layer of ice
maple leaves hide
barely visible
yesterday’s secrets

    Lovely photo and poem, Talya. I love the vibrant colour of maple leaves in fall.

    How strange the weather is when you are getting the cold and stormy winter weather down in Dallas and it’s mild and sunny up here in Ontario. The weather patterns are all screwy these days.
