A Deeper Orchestration

Aspen hold their leaves, steadfast like castanets against the breeze
Returning the glimmer of God’s smile, in shivers all the while
Quaking, though not cold
Dressed translucently in gold
Dancing in November song, fine instruments awhile belong
To the seasonal vibration of a deeper orchestration
Aspen hold their leaves

I heard those 'castanet' aspens.
Nicely orchestrated, TD.

Kathleen, despite the shortage of rain this year in the midatlantic,  the ride through the country to work everyday has the most beautiful golden to red colors of fall lining the roads. The  prettiest I have seen in years.

Do they, as you say ...  hold their leaves?
are they a tree that does not shet all their
leaves?

Beautiful descriptive writings, well done.

"Aspen hold their leaves, steadfast like castanets against the breeze"

You hear of the quaking aspen...I wonder why the name?...perhaps it is because they shake and rattle, but don't loose their leaves, I don't know. Enjoyed your poetry as I always do.
