Today in honor of Halloween and John Keats’ birthday, here are a few lines from some famous poems to help us celebrate OCTOBER:
O= “O wild west wind, thou breath of autumn’s being.” [P.B Shelley]
C= “Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild.” [W.B. Yeats]
T= “To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees.” [J. Keats]
O= “O hushed October morning mild.” [R. Frost]
B= “Before she hears the sound of winter rushing in.” [W. Wordsworth]
E= “Every breath that stirs the trees, doth cause a leaf to fall.” [E.B. Browning]
R= “Reflecting look on their decline, where pattering leaves confess their end.” [J. Clare]
And an extra tidbit from me: “October with her black satin eyes came flashing into autumn.”
Beautiful poem and homage to Keats.
