autumn strips limbs bare,
swindling prized foliage
from unarmed nymphs.
under seasonal guises,
she hides away sunshine;
dripping beads of change
into shit-brown grasses.
nature’s fireworks explode
across frozen skylines;
leaves sparkle in blues
of brilliance
…as they fall to annual deaths.

I like the idea of annual death. Or maybe I should say phrase.

Wow!
I don't remember you being this good. How did you escape the clutches of my group? You're style is something I can't touch.
