Autumn\'s ceremony
There danced imaginary, invisible houris, fairies
As brides under a saffron maple tree
Dressed in prism-hued layers
of chiffon in ethereal shimmers
and delicate silken gossamers
They having their weeny wedding in the fall
And fairy folk bustled about all round
as flimsy and flighty as they could be
while saffron leaves fell upon the brides
in ceremonial nuptial
An autumn\'s ritual
and as nature\'s pretty confetti!
Branches denuded
Yet autumn\'s august
for the wilting\'s
ravishing!
The willowy fairies
almost drowned and veiled
in henna fallen maple leaves
Playing hide \'n\'seek with browny brownie grooms
camouflaged as well in the heap...
