Colors of September

The color of today

White and gray

Only a little blue.

 

Waves tumble and play

Frolic in West wind where

White caps splash the skin

Of turbulent Lake Michigan.

 

White swans have gone

Black cormorants wing south in flocks—

On such a day

A tern tilts on airstreams

From north and east.

 

Sandpipers skitter along the pier

Picking up tiny bits

That’s the way it is

On this September day.

I think that's why I enjoy the quiet lakes inland in Wisconsin better. Living on a huge lakeshore reminiscent of the sea can have its grey days. I find them depressing like the incessant calls of gulls and the ever present wind. Inland, there is much color, even on dreary days.
