  1. The contrasts between the two parts of the poem -- dry vs wet and predominantly red and yellow vs green -- have an immediacy that effectively evokes the reader's emotional response.

    Note: Indian summer is a period of "unseasonably warm, dry weather" that sometimes occurs in "autumn" in the Northern Hemisphere.
