Autumn Leaves: Daunted Crown, Regal Mound
Sallowing leaves tarnish bough's regal crown
Swirling breeze pageant more doth confound
Dessicated lobes dressed in jaundiced gown
Crumpled folds in death's clutches bound
Cool tidal waves the exposed surfaces pound
Frothy glaze doth weathered follicles brown
Chilling currents surge; nutrient-rich channels drown
Shunted leaves from lofty crest tumble down
Shorn pinnates reassembling, lowly base doth crown
Richly dressing each, desolate, frozen mound
In layered splendor blessing the smitten ground
