October Poetry

Send a copy of an October-themed poem written in calligraphy or a nice hand writing.

Here are a few especially nice ones:

"The sweet calm sunshine of October, now

Warms the low spot; upon its grassy mold

The purple oak-leaf falls; the birchen bough

drops its bright spoil like arrow-heads of gold."

- William Cullen Bryant

"The scarlet of maples can shake me like a cry

Of bugles going by.

And my lonely spirit thrills

to see the frosty asters like smoke

upon the hills."

- William Bliss Carman

"The leaves fall patiently

Nothing remembers or grieves

The river takes to the sea

The yellow drift of leaves."

- Sara Teasdale

"October's poplars are flaming torches

lighting the way to winter."

- Nova Bair

"October's the month

When the smallest breeze

Gives us a shower

Of autumn leaves.

Bonfires and pumpkins,

Leaves sailing down -

October is red

And golden and brown."

- Can Teach Songs
