Six Word Fridays ~ Green

Under the towering oaks, my childhood

home stands proud. Older than old,

the oaks reign supreme. Providing shade...

...showering us with hundreds of acorns.

Under the towering oaks grow the

maples. The younger, less bothersome, maples.

Their twirling seeds float effortlessly, silently

down to play with the acorns.

Their green tips and stems and 

veins are now beginning to surrender 

to autumn's first kiss of color.

Under the towering oaks, and under

the changing maples is my favorite

Japanese magnolia. She was small when

we were small. Now her twisted

branches reach up past the roof.

From way under the towering trees,

we see the leaves beginning to

fade...announcing yet another changing season.
