The maple “seed” is the part of the maple key that the squirrels eat. Perhaps this one could read:
a maple key
helicopters
onto blacktop
Best, Bill H.
a feather
slowly embarks on a different trip
from the bird
dust devil ~
she spins cross the dance floor
in a hot red dress
helicopters
of dandelion
windblown
Helicopters wavering-
in the forest of maples
the autumn sounds
another
cornfield carved–
“let’s plant the maple”
wind rising —
maple tree’s roots
through the blacktop
