colour: solemn, sombre

October in New Brunswick is an explosions of colour. However,  as the red and orange leaves fall, browns and yellows begin to dominate the landscape.

solemn, sombre

walked out to see you

once again as you

lay dying, somber

the soft light, marsh grass

leaning in the rain

autumn colour fades

tones solemn, ochre

of poplar and birch,

straw-pale, hay-scented

fern, Solidago

and tansy, shadows

in the ditch, the heads

of Typha

burst to seed
