Summer closing to an end

The first change of scent seems to switch all at once

I walked outside one morning
and there was something different, definitely different

The air was crisper, clean

Leaves suddenly began to fall around me like a snow globe of orange and yellow

Maze shot out of the ground and was instantly six feet tall turning brown as I watched

Pumpkins began to morph into jack o lanterns and candles flickered from within

Rain poured but I remained dry small creeks began to appear and trickle away

Wind came tearing towards me I was suddenly struck by
everything all at once

Maze was blown down

Leaves began to rise and fall and swirl in a vortex of wind

The rain went sideways

The pumpkins rotted

The candles went dim
and burned out

Autumn was gone just as
fast as it had begun
