Snapped

Twiglets #296 Unlit

The maple in the front yard
stands tall and formally serious
presiding over a well-kept lawn
but autumn has been teasing,
tickling, tempting her decorum
and something that was unlit
suddenly flipped a switch
now she’s dressing herself
in frivolous, gaudy colors
a brazen, beauty of a wench
and sheds her glory in an
unsubtle strip-tease dance.
