Perfect Autumn Tree
A perfect autumn tree –
a sweet gum now turned
from peridot and emerald
to citrine, ruby, and amber,
It pierces the gray green of the forest,
like the jeweled brooch of a queen,
sparkling, luminous, full of
elegant seasonable fire.

This was a perfect tree... even if it was lopsided. I have a picture of another one, too, which I will upload when I win the battle with my computer. There were several perfect trees -- full of totally golden leaves, or red, or orange. ...blazing the the sun, waving in the breeze like flowers 30 feet tall.
