Hidden tales -3

A tale interrupted...

With a cheery green garb,
that flutters gaily
alongside a gusty wind
each sunny morning and

spending time, gazing endlessly
at the sun's steps, up above,
while readily absorbing
some of its golden sheen,

a sprig of five
 'once spectacular' leaves,

now brown and toasted crisp,

seem resigned to
facing their destiny together,
enmeshed in a silky white web

fashioned by a devious creature,
skilled at setting traps.
