The Colors of Autumn
Burnt umber
Burnt sienna
Mars red
Orange henna
Silver gray
Olive green
Naples yellow
Tangerine
A touch of black
But not much blue --
Autumn's down-to-earth in hue.
~ Douglas Florian,
from Autumnblings
I love this color poem. Florian aptly describes the riot of earthy colors that we see around us every autumn. He does it with a touch of rhyme, which always makes me smile -- at least when it's done well. (And Florian's poem certainly qualifies!) What colors do you see when you look outside in the fall?
