An updated version of this poem for you all soupers...

Altering air patterns
Crispier dusk tones
Nights’ earlier onsets
Sun’s late rises

Changing leaf colors
Trees’ fiery flairs 
Scattered acorns and pine needles
Halloween is around the corner

Ghosts and vampires 
Goblins, ghouls and skeletons
Webs of humongous spiders
Witches and Jack-o’-lanterns

Black cats lurk
Spooky bats and owls flutter
Crescent moon’s shiny silver
Halloween is around the corner

Pumpkin shades of orange, auburn and ginger
costume displays in stores
Candy containers in shops’ every corner 
Eager children gearing up 

Sweet scents from burning candles
Aromas of pies cooked with cinnamon 
Spicy warm apple cider
Halloween is around the corner

You have created the scene of a wonderful neighborhood preparing for the arrival of Halloween. Really nice.
