Naked Trees (Naked Trees November contest)

How in pale I wonder,
These beloved trees,
Once dressed in green glamour and glitz
flapping majestically its apparel
a seasonal blessing of nature
why not ask the birds its prominence
an abode of leisure and fresh air.

when will thou recuperate from this disgrace?
this nudity of time,
oh, a brutal rape of shame
the birds longed for you again
I'll tell them when you return.

I've cried, I've hr;o sr gtomr"
I have no idea what that means. I have been partying for four days at a Mushaira with pretty poets, angels and various illegal substances, celebrating my 60th birthday.
My motto is from the Japanese TV series "Monkey"- The nature of Jess is irrepressible.
I always come back.
