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
