Wandering through the endless wood
I paused to gaze in silent awe.
In the aspen grove I stood
Heart awash by all I saw.

'Golden coins' equal golden leaves.....I betcha. 'Fir' and 'pinion' (pine) are both kinds of trees. : ) It's a favorite poem from a favorite poet. : ) bri
A very nice poem. This is your most recent, and it is from December 2020. Are you still with us, Beach Girl? I hope that you are well.
And MAYBE your 'new' photo on PH today is from your 'early twenties' ALSO! I already left comments & stars 'years ago'. : ) I hope you R well.
Who shines now more brightly, you or the golden autumn leaves? : ) bri
So, Ms. Beach, you wrote this poem when you were a mere slip of a girl. ;) bri
debbie, I guess it was wishful thinking to want to read one from THIS year. : ) bri
I too sat under aspen trees at my local lake with my elderly yellow Labrador. I felt I was there in your aspen grove too.
Bri! I corrected the word 'adorned'. Thanks for letting me know. : )
The poem, so well written, deserves full marks and I heartily give it 5 Stars *****! I recommend this poem to be selected as the 'Member Poem of the Day'.
Loved this beautiful poem that rhymes so wonderfully! The imagery too is impressive. And thanks for the 'Poet's Notes'.
1 a favorite line: " Golden coins to him bestow." Yiyan and Kostas L. (a friend) don't expend too much energy on typing. Gooe enough! st.5 I believe these lines are not complete sentences; this threw me off. I researched " pocketing" . Do you mean leaves are tucked away, as into pockets? (a rhetorical question) st.7 though i adore the poem (and you) , how about " adorned" ? to MyPoemList bri :)
ah ha! I see you used 'adorned' as I suggested; perhaps you'd had a typo (adored?) . bri
Wow so you were a natural wanderer in your 20's then. Very nice one 5+++
B.G. I see you; do you see me? I see you in that fir tree. : ) best wishes to another who 'fled? ' PH for 'greener pastures' in 2020. : ) bri
