To celebrate the first day of autumn, here’s a poem called ‘The Problem of Writing Poems in the Shape of Deciduous Trees’
![[The poem has been written in the shape of a deciduous tree with letters (or ‘leaves’) missing from the text]:
comm n pr ble whe writin p ems
in the shape of decid o s trees
is t at once t ere ar ives
the fir t sti rings of he new aut mn breeze,
he oems will begi to shake hemselves ge tly
ntil their letters loos n like leaves,
an they d start to float down
then
[The missing letters from the tree have landed on the last line to form the phrase]
turntomushuponthegroun
[The final ‘d’ is floating down to complete the phrase.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:3hptt3d3jvwahhnl3jvsycc2/bafkreicisfdtrnyo3eu5pgvlvt2xldu4k5lhqljix3i3lhbkpofddweho4@jpeg)
Wonderful poem and an outstanding example of #AwesomeAltText!
This is amusing and clever.
So clever.
Simply joyous
An arboreal delight 🌲
This is absolutely wonderful. Beaming, I am. Beaming.
