Far below the flaming canopies of Autumn,
The humble plants of shaded glen ferment
into the honey and truffles
of ripened wine.
The humble plants of shaded glen ferment
into the honey and truffles
of ripened wine.
Ferns stand gilded with spore.
Slender stems blush from exposure
To the frosty eye of night.
To the frosty eye of night.
Mop-head hydrangeas,
Their blooms toasted like campfire marshmallows,
Their blooms toasted like campfire marshmallows,
Sag under the weight of summer blue.
Violet stains their leaf and bloom,
Overly spiced were it not for the sweet caramel of age.
Lace-caps have cast off
all but the last essential rose-stained petals--
Heads held high and elegantly balanced--
Ballerinas in their last arabesque.
