Wildfire Country

Trees ablaze everywhere
a slow, seasonal burn
of expanding grandeur

flame-enshrouded forests
color-quenched vistas
fiery Armageddon

only generative beauty
complete without heat
leafless trees as residue. 

Late Fall Fashions

Underdressed limbs
scant, scattered ruffles
fewer red flourishes

bronzy golds
with fading elegance
dark greens back in vogue. 

Fall Foliage #24

Christmas tree patch
tabletops in situ

festooned in reds
glowing golds, orange others

fixed decoratively
by Autumn's flung leaf-fall

easily rearranged
by interested Breezes.
