The Autumn Maidens
Inspired By A Painting In The Enchanted Booklet
Introduction
The Enchanted Booklet is a wonderful source of inspiration for me. This is where I found this one, and I will dedicate this to my friend Cherri and her daughter Autumn.
This is a sonnet.
The music is "Autumn Leaves" by Eva Cassidy
The Autumn Maidens
πππ§ππ§ππ§ππ
The Autumn Maidens Once More Are Here
Turning All The Leaves From Green To Gold
Each September, These Ladies Appear
Goodbye To Summer, Leaves Fall, Behold
π§ππ§ππ§
Sorceresses, Forest Guardians
These Are The Keepers Of All The Trees
If You Look Up Now You May See Them
Before They Fly Away On The Breeze
π§ππ§ππ§
They Tell The Leaves It Is Time To Go
To Leave Their Branches, Slowly Spin Down
Float Gracefully, Magically Slow
A Carpet Of Gold Is On The Ground
π§ππ§ππ§
The Autumn Maidens Once More Are Here
As They Return Each And Every Year

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Menβs room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reillyβs Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckeeβs Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

This is a beautiful personification of the leaves changing color and falling in autumn. It pairs perfectly with the image that you have provided. Well done.
