Not Quite Time.

Autumn paints in brown today,

her brighter palette gone astray.

Hints of rust now dot the trees,

as soft and random as you please.

Shades of bronze, a lighter touch:

it's early yet so not too much.

Even at the hint of Autumns

Even at the hint of Autumns kiss, leaves blush their smile. 

Nicely painted, your words always leave a lasting image. Thank you, it's always a pleasure.

Serenity Inside

I like how you address the reader with a choice in painting the "hints of rust" image on the trees by saying they are placed "as [we] please." It adds an adaptive level of imagination whilst also invitingly maintaining the Poem's fresh, friendly tone. The whole Poem itself reads like and resembles a most serene meditation---and the source of such is specifically, indeed, your own meditation---which I highly enjoyed and appreciate.
