Muted


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.
