Acorns on the Way
Pound Ridge, Leatherman's Loop
The hills are littered
with acorns
scattered—moldering wheels
that could take you down
long before you look out,
over maple-cradled
waters.

I have to admit that I now have a picture of you falling on your behind whilst hiking down the hill! :-)
Wonderful one-shot!
haha eric! i will be honest i was kinda thinking the same...those are pretty cool hairy acorns...
Dare I say I make three? (I jest.)
These are wonderful lines: "scattered-moldering wheels" and "maple-cradled/waters".
Great images, too.
Oh, "maple cradled waters." Insanely true. Been there. I miss the North. Thanks.
You nailed the autumn-feel imagery effect. Great work.
Those look like Burr Oak acorns to me. (Watch your step!)
Nice One Shot, L.L.
Enjoyed being here with you in word and visual.
Beautiful image from Susan and perfect words from you. I liked it so much.. thanks

Your poem takes me back to when I was a girl and we "skated" on the acorns on the hill. A perfect poem for today--my mom and sisters and I were just talking about those "falls."
adore this L.L.
