A couple of years ago I wrote a poem inspired by the splendour of fall just within our own yard, which represents a microcosmos of the wonderful world of the Arrow Lakes. I embedded the poem two lines at a time into the video that captured the autumnal mood. Enjoy.
My wife wrote this lovely poem in 2002.
Keeping Watch over the Fallen Leaves
Gravenstein Apples ready for the Picking
Ladybugs digging themselves a Fruitful Den
Golden Maple Leaves in our Yard
Sun Rays Putting on a Light Show by the Roadside
Spectacular Colors on the Way up to our House
Our Little Village Church on a Beautiful Fall Day
Ornamental Maple Tree in its Fiery Dress
The Arrow Lake Inviting to a Canoe Ride
The bright orange pumpkins announce that Halloween is not very far.
