Blazing Pigments

Leaves morphed in color
Blazing pigments are warnings
Like those set upon exotic creatures
Though the caution be different
Not of poison but of chill
They are like flyers, posting announcements
Of the coming event across the forest
And then they fall
Like sheaves of paper to heap and clutter the ground
Proclamations brown and withered
 Soon covered in drifts of death matter
And lost eternal
