I really like many of the old-fashioned poems. Just pretty or lighthearted poems.
This one is called "October's Party," and it is very gladsome. I like the capitalization of the tree names.
But let us not delve into why I am putting up an October poem in September. Let me just say that it is a personal triumph to be able to post anything, and that also my brains are addled by placing thousands of Hallowe'en cards up in stores.
Don't worry. It'll be here apparently before we even realize it. Thanks for the laugh today - I needed that!
I love your posting today Holly!
This is one of my favorites....enjoy it!
Come, little leaves,
Said the wind one day;
Come to the meadows
With me and play.
Put on your dresses
Of red and gold;
For summer is past,
And the days grow cold.
Soon as the leaves
Heard the wind's loud call,
Down they came fluttering,
One and all.
Over the meadows
They danced and flew,
All singing the soft
Little songs they knew.
Dancing and flying,
The leaves went along,
Till Winter called them
To end their sweet song.
Soon, fast asleep
In their earthy beds,
The snow lay a coverlet
O'er their heads.

What a sweet poem! October is really not far away!!
our weather is a little weird right now..it can't decide if its summer or fall so we are telling it, its fall.....love the poems....
Oh I want Oct. to arrive quicker now, after reading that poem. Oct. is a harbinger of cooler weather.
Today we had some more rain, so the evening 's cool. And today is Abner 's 9th birthday. I calle d him up.
He was having a children 's party for his friends and later on dinner (deeener, he says) with the family, cuz and grandparents etc. His Ma bought him an electric train.
Thanks! Love the poem and art!
Thanks for the poems Holly and Miss Peach. It is unseasonably cool today and I'm loving it!! I'm ready for October too. Have a great holiday weekend. Smiles, Sally
Fall is my favorite seson in the Appalachians. thanks for sharing the poem I'll have my children memorize it so they can enjoy it too.
Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful poem!! Thanks for sharing!
Really love your poem, just perfect for the fall as it creeps into our lives! Just noticed this morning how dark it is now when I get up - and it was just a month ago that the sun was up at 5:30am!
I LOVE this poem! I read it years ago, and am thrilled to see it here too! My mind has wandered to Fall a lot too!
Very nice poems...I could visualize the dancing leaves in pretty colors.
patience, my dearies, patience...
