an ermine wrap that offers no warmth

Monday's Snowy Trees
an ermine wrap that offers no warmth

Was it only a few weeks ago
the trees shed their flashy look?
Now they wear a new mantle,
an ermine wrap that offers no warmth.
They are beautiful to be sure,
despite foretelling the long dark
and our retreat to the hearth.
