Gumdrop Maples – v2

So clearly the image, in my mind, my imagination

Like nothing other than gumdrops

the rounded tops of the colorful maples

adorned the side of the street

on our drive to church this morning

Radiant in the morning sun

below the royal blue of the sky

the reds and yellows, the orange

colors of the trees, like candy

before us

Covered in sprinkles, festooned

with bright patches,

bright and eye catching

a quilted confection

for us to enjoy
