Autumn's Ceremony

<<<<< A bevy of  invisible houris
and imaginary fairies,>>>>
cavorted about as elfin brides
under a saffron maple tree^^^^
Dressed in prism-hued layers
of chiffon in ethereal shimmers
and delicate silken gossamers
They having their group wedding in the fall
And fairy folk bustled about all round
as flimsy and flighty as they could be
while henna leaves fell upon the brides,
>>>>> in ceremonial nuptial
An autumn's breezy ritual<<<<<
and as nature's pretty confetti! 

>>>>Branches denuded
Yet autumn's august<<<<
for the wilting's ravishing!
The willowy fairies, with nylon veils
almost drowned and veiled>>>>
in honey fallen maple leaves as well
>>>>Playing hide'n' seek
with browny brownie grooms
also camouflaged in the heap...>>>

( beautiful quote 7)

And so she dances through the leaves, caressing the branches as she twists and turns, and cajoles them to do the same.....Great imagery and lovely turn of phrase applied throughout this poem. Love the word gossamer so Ignore Tom's hang-ups. :-)
