Stripped bare,
skeletons 
of Summer gone-
silhouettes in open
copses

Love the title ... my neck of the woods is far from stripped yet ... too many leaves on the oaks ... beautiful picture painted here, Brian!

I see that scene from our window, looking back behind our house, through skeletons of oak trees, that have lost their leaves. Forlorn poem, but so descriptive! ~ Carrie
