Muted, yet still holding
a subdued vibrancy,
a palette of chrysanthemums
on display at country farm markets.
A cooler, dry atmosphere
carries fair-weather cumulus,
pushing them slowly eastward
where they pile up on the horizon.
Ripened acorns zip through leaves
and bounce off my inverted canoe.
A sound that signals
the approach of autumn.
Some fall warblers in muted colors
are in a feeding frenzy
as they move in waves
slowly southward.
These autumn days are magnificent,
but growing much shorter.
Warm light slants in at a lower angle;
muted, but welcomed.
