TURNING THE PAGE

 Summer's heat will soon retreat as autumn takes the stage
 The scene of green on the hill turns to red and gold
 Cool temps rule as a season turns the page

 The summer breeze that swayed the trees will bid adieu
 Autumn's shawl are leaves that fall, so it's told
 Within time's quilt flowers wilt as Halloween comes due 

 Mostly ghostly creatures then roam the streets
 From door to door  to each home they go, so bold
 As they wander through the night for treats and sweets

This is beautiful and ingeniously done. Though it may seem easy, I found it quite challenging. Dear Joseph, you seem to enjoy playing with rhymes.

I love Autumn, still far from this summer heat. We don't celebrate Halloween a lot in Malta. As usual a perfect poem.

Ghostly holiday marks a seasonal transition that rules the real world. Evocative piece. :o))

Our summer is now coming to an end too Joseph, I do love the autumn and all the magnificent colours it brings. Won't be long before the ghouls are knocking the door too, must remember to get some treats in. Tom
