Season's Changes

Season’s changes are not dramatic here
Trees do not change to honey and crimson
Strong winds, more frigid and wild, appear
Paper-thin jackets pullet tight, eyes glisten
No longer summer with sticky sweet air
All the vibrant colored scents to match the
Vibrant colored flowers worn in girls’ hair
Bare feet on sun-warmed pavement, sky aqua
All Hallows’ Eve nears, people look for fright
Worst fears can come true, if you want them too
Dark shadows of people afraid of light
Distant howls at the moon, a pop-out “boo!”
A quick, gradual change from bright to black
The happy weather leaves, whispered, “Come back...”
