I love trees, and enjoy my wanders in the Cambridge Botanical Gardens which is home to many champion trees. Just recently I came upon this beautiful Paperbark Maple, such a find for an author: a tree that peels it bark, like the well-worn pages of a book that has been read many times! So, I decided to grace its beauty by writing an Etheree poem which you can see below.
I will also be sharing more about the Paperbark Maple soon on the The Sisters of The Fey Blog so do keep an eye out for that.
In the meantime, here is my poem, I hope you enjoy!
Paperbark Maple – An Etheree
I
see you
Paperbark
Peeling brown curls
Enticing me quick
Imagination twirls…
Wow, what a bookish delight!
A captivating, living art
Small tree but unique, fresh and renewed
You’ve captured my heart, Magic Maple bark!
Bye for now,
