Summer’s essence leaves its notes to Fall’s subtle perfume,
Steaming pots of spikenard scent the autumn new moon.
Swirling, cooled northerly winds; nature’s street sweeper
Loofah the tundra with vigor, scraping summer’s aroma;
Exchanging it for horned baskets in scented stomata,
For pumpkin spiced lattes, hot apple cider or, a cuppa.
And, roaming the sidewalks of summer’s last nightfall,
The Northwind as town crier, his sonorous voice and bell
Proclaims, “hear ye, hear ye, welcome all to Fall!!”
Summer has ended…you introduce fall with such promise. Good day to you.

Your poem reminds me of how taken I was with the notion of a town crier when I was a kid. That was a very deeply buried memory for a poem to bring to the surface!
