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

View of Nerepis marsh looking south. The ferry is crossing the river, barely visible in the mist.

Colour variety in the marsh grasses.

Hay-scented fern adds yellows and browns to the ditches.

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
