A riveting seasonal poem, depicted on a page from “The New Book of Days” by Eleanor Farjeon. The author uses words of color, and sensory language to personify “October” in the seasonal passing of time.

September Gone
Good bye September
We love you so.
You brought us Spring,
and Summer and Fall.
Flowers you spread
with your light and warmth.
Turning the page to October, now.
Goodbye September,
Until we meet again.
