doffed in star-white bonnets
self-impressed with their foliage. I'm confused if this is autumn or spring. Before it was orange and black leaves.

as the choir sings their morning song.

At times I wonder what the disconnect between describing nature as people and whether or not they are actually people or nature.
Thanks for the read, your poems are getting better as time goes on,
I found this one particularly engaging.
