MORNING AFTER AUTUMNAL EQUINOX A CREATIVE HARBOR POETRY SATURDAY SO THIS IS AUTUMN by W.W. West Now far and near on field and hill We watch the death of chlorophyll As earl autumn rushes in With xanthophyll and carotin. I hold that ignorance is bliss, Considering the fact that this Is how a botanist perceives The coloring of autumn leaves. AUTUMN by Emily Dickinson The morns are meeker than they were, The nuts are getting brown; The berry's cheek is plumper, The rose is out of town. The maple wears a gayer scarf, The field a scarlet gown. Lest I should be old-fashioned, I'll put a trinket on.
