like snow flakes.
Mingling with frost upon turf.
Frozen dewdrops.
Create artistic rustic patterns.
Inviting aurum quince pixies,
to dance in delight.
Wind swept sugar coated pine trees.
Bow to the late autumn’s breath.
Watching this gaiety through six glass panes.
Sunset’s golden hour has arrived.
Fifteen strokes to the hour of four.
Sunlight columns join this wondrous dance,
against tan walls.
Inviting Noel’s lights to waltz
in her effervescent white lit pine needles.
Bluebirds, red-grey squirrels, and hares,
are enthralled.
By the dance of these whirling dervishes.
Twilight emerged, hued with autumns
final color palette.
Messages of peacock and soft clay pinks.
Variegate these final seven days--
Before winter’s solstice commencement.
