Questioning
October (R Frost)

I'm not the biggest fan of this poem, but as it is October now...
O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away.
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes' sake, if the were all,
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost--
For the grapes' sake along the all.
He has written better poems in my opinion 
Staying within the theme, I'd like to note:
I have no idea why the next one is called October Maybe it was the time she realised it all?
And one of my favourite bands (though that are a lot
)

SF, you clever girl! I'm constantly amazed by your endless resources. I was just looking for something on October
. Thx!
PS- I agree, much better peoms from Robert Frost than October. My personal favorite is "The Road Less Traveled"Posted 10-08-2008 at 09:54 PM by hulamoon
