There is a gust of wind blowing
the branches to and fro

Outside my windows
dogwoods are screaming Oh No  

Old man winter is pruning
too much..as the winds blow

Snipping here and there
broken limbs everywhere

Bad hair day in store
for blooming leaves

Oh, you made me smile!  Lovely way to describe the winds of autumn.  We don't have dogwoods here - I'll have to go look up a picture.  Nice!  Nice!

Bad hair day for the trees - !!!!!
