Inspired by the series of paintings by a certain David Hockney, this one's for you Denise!! :)
Woldgate woods
The fire-trees stand tall and bony,
shedding redding-autumn leaves
crying crispy tears of crimson
to knit a blanket at their feet
How they hate this change of season,
yet know it's only just begun
though now lonely, pull together,
and pray silently for sun
More ligneous than luscious; a foliage reprieve
until the first few buds of spring offer chance to shoot new leaves
then the fire-trees are happy
when they know they'll once again stand green
