Summer To Autumn

Simply slow day
Uniquely made for fun 
Mark the Summer’s way,
Manipulating the winds to
Even and slow as they
Reluctantly slink away.

Twilight brings a chill and
Opines its continuing will.

Alabaster moons
Underscore the darkness,
Turn stars to balloons. 
Uniting as one mark,
Melding and moving,
Nature proudly approving.

The change from summer to autumn is beautifully captured. From summer's warmth, twilight brings a chill ! This is the most obvious sign of the arrival of autumn ! Enjoyed your poem dear Linda.
