Some exude charisma
others, miasma
Public figures don
cloaks of phantasma

Fey leaf cloaks are being created by faerie artisans in the midst of the veil
Maple tree is smiling, recognizing many of the offerings from his own limbs
Sycamore takes credit for a few, as does elm, but fir tree is silent
Thinking his offerings are not good enough, is something wrong with him?
It is not you, he is reassured by robin, you are my salvation in the winter.
The other trees offer me no coverage whatsoever, I count on you.
This cheers him up considerably, as he watches the witches’ movements.
They parade through the forest in their ethereal finery of tangerines and browns

The trees are naked now
Branches shiver in the wind
Bold strokes of orange
Paint the purple sky
Brittle grasses cling together
Backs turned to the chill
Like monks at prayer
Clad in cloaks of brown
Landscapes in decline
Mourn the death of flowers
In garden graveyards
Tears of rain weep upon their seed
It is gone, I feel the pain
Of summers loss, beauty spoiled
A single rose, pressed within my pages
Sustains me til new seasons are regained
