A demon dances
An earthly prance
Upon the dying leaves
With icy fingers spinning webs
Of crystal filigree.
The sparkling scene
On carpets green
Reflects the morning rays
As star-like patterns
Cling to earth
This crispy autumn day.
The demon nips
At toes and lips
On rocks and branches too
Reminding creatures everywhere
That summer's days are through.
