an affect as moss
some say as rust a crosscut
truss a cornerstone
downspout apparel
an oaken barrel bramble
tamp a corncob pipe
thistle this ol’ field
a wild rose the chaff trousseau
thatch roof distaff patch

I like this one so much! Faerie elements and lovely title. Such skillful sound play: “moss/some say/rust/cross/truss”, “apparel/barrel, bramble/tamp” and “thistle/this ‘ol, distaff/chaff, thatch/patch” etc.
