"
🍁🍁 🍁 A bevy of  invisible houris
and imaginary fairies,
cavorted about as elfin brides
under a saffron maple tree🍁🍁🍁
Dressed in prism-hued layers
of chiffon in ethereal shimmers
and delicate silken gossamers
They having their group wedding in the fall
And fairy folk bustled about all round
as flimsy and flighty as they could be
while saffron leaves fell upon the brides🍁🍁🍁
🍁🍁🍁 in ceremonial nuptial
An autumn's ritual
and as nature's pretty confetti! 🍁🍁🍁

Branches denuded
Yet autumn's august
for the wilting's ravishing!
🍁🍁🍁 The willowy fairies, with nylon veils
almost drowned and veiled
in henna fallen maple leaves as well
Playing hide 'n'seek🍁🍁🍁
with browny brownie grooms
also camouflaged in the heap...🍁🍁🍁

Yours is a truly celebratory and beautiful photo and colorful autumn imagery! “Elfin brides” and “brownie grooms” join hosts of “angelic houris” dazzling nature with their spicy saffron silks and henna-tinted stardust…Absolutely Love this poem and all its exotic and fiery hues!

Yeah mostly orangish brown colors, warmest thanks for nice comment dear. God bless,
As I recall it, houris are something like what those in the west would call angels. Along with other legendary beings in this offering, they celebrate the autumn season with a group wedding. A lot of colorful autumnal imagery here. There is also a hint of the coming winter here with the mention of denuded branches. Not a cause for sadness, though, for spring will return.

S this is a great poem. A terrific soup of mythical and modern sensibilities. I do agree with my good friend Winston, the weeny wedding is a bit jarring, and in western culture "weeny" is a slangish put-down. You might want to reconsider its usage here. If you are looking for small, and want to keep the mythical motif, might consider waifish, or waif
Otherwise your poem is a marvellous little gem

This is really good but I think “weeny wedding” is too alliterative and maybe alter that line to they are waiting for the wedding if you want to use alliteration. That’s my thoughts.

This delightful poem brings to mind some of the paintings of Richard Dadd, the English painter, who specialised in fairy themes and other flights of fancy. Your poem is poetically descriptive and a pleasure to read!
