October 25 in Morton Arboretum East Woods
October’s Colors
Yellow and green
and orange buttons
and more green
in paddles of fungi
red of sumac
and red of maple
and red in my heart
burning with autumn
look at the colors
flying like flags
blazing a sky
before ice grays it
Green “paddle” fungi
Little white umbrella!
Tiny (3/8″) orange buttons with sister moss
