Cercidiphyllum japonicum

_____________________________________

Autumn is showing!

Magic is in the air

Colors are glowing

No season can compare

*

Magic is in the air

The fragrance of love

Is just everywhere

Below and above

*

Colors are glowing

Most everyone can see

Smell is mind blowing

Lost on so many

*

No season can compare

Vanilla filled sky

You miss if unaware

Not just for the eye.

The Katsura Tree

_____________________________________

Heart shaped leaves of my favorite tree

Tinged with red, newly appear

Destined to be fall debris

Dusting the ground in yellow cheer

Graces our noses with scent of sugar cookie

Scintillating throughout the year.
