Trees Aflame

Prompt: "Aflame in color, poets have written, borrowing the language of fire to describe fall trees in their full glory- fiery-red sweetgums, sugar maples igniting, birches alight in yellow flames." Okay, writers what are your views on this?

Autumn trees are pretty and when I chose this prompt, it doesn't seem like wild fires. Autumn trees are pretty. I have never seen maple trees except un magazines. New England has the most beautiful autumn trees and leaves. We can describe autumn trees like the colors of fire but they are a work of art. Poets write about the beauty of nature. Artists paint and capture the beauty of nature and trees.

My husband's aunt painted a scenery of mountains, lake and skies and the family didn't see the beauty of this picture. I did and it hangs on my wall. Being a writer, you get art. It is like poetry.

Aflame in color. As long as it isn't fire, you can see the beauty in the trees and write how it affects you. This is part of God's art work. I adore it.
