When Autumn Comes

When autumn comes harvest moon glows Leaves transform to crimson and gold and the chill now withers the rose When autumn comes Leaves have fallen, a chill takes hold As summer sleeps where leaves repose Flowers weep, they can't be consoled A witch rides by with cackling woes Pumpkins on display, soon to be sold Halloween's here, the goblin knows When autumn comes 7-11-2024

Lovely anticipation of autumn which is a season of color and celebrations like Halloween. Autumn season's essence is vividly captured and you have painted a picturesque scene, dear Joseph.

Nice flow, the first verses are pretty and the last is fun. I don't think I've seen a Roundel. I like it.
