Maple leaves

When I step on leaves
I hear the crackles
Then I will look at trees
and see fresh apples
 
When sticky Maple leaves would fall from the trees
my mother would harvest them and steep them in her tea
She made a lot of recipes that were often different from most
She learned from our grandma
who was usually our host.
 
At our grandmas house she had maple trees
she would have us harvest them, the sticky, maple-y leaves
The leaves were in colors of red and gold
with maple syrup, no doubt, more than twenty years old!
 
Falling far down from the oak trees
here comes the colorful leaves
When dry leaves are all over the ground,
I’ll jump on them to here the crackling sound!
