Call-- Birds and Bees

Cruising on hued rafters midair
Autumn glides with its trill-like flair;
Lithesome the nights which blaze a sky
Longer still the music nearby.

While moonglow rivers through the trees 
Stirring soft nightfall's misty breeze;
Hours call as birds and insects seize
A time to buzz or croon… to tease!

Illumined wings of silk-spun fleece,
Dance around blooms…a light trapeze
On prairies red, chanted notes wheeze
Until morning’s dew spills with ease.

Whistles wane but their wisps ensnare
Earth’s glory …is fall’s melody
A fine story … of tweets, gently
Cruising on hued rafters midair.

This is delightful Nette. It's very whimsical feeling, going through out all the activity of the forest. And you picked a great rhyme for second and third stanzas ... ease. Perhaps sometime I ought'a try this form out! Best of luck on the contest ... I think this will do great.
