A maple tree
Stands proudly in the yard
Right next to a ginkgo tree
By late September
The maple tree sports colored leaves
Bright red, orange, yellow
The ginkgo tree is still green
And shows a reserved façade
The two tree neighbors
Present a vivid contrast----
Each in its own way
Demonstrates nature's beauty
We are glad to have variety
To ease our eyes and hearts
All too soon there will be change
And we will see naked branches
Starkly grey against winter snow
