Fifty Shades of October

The tenth month of the Gregorian calendar in now upon us and the land prepares to give us more of its colorful coverings as a landscape of thrilling promise and gorgeous colour provides a sumptuous feast as only nature can. Autumn or Fall, the final crescendo of the natural landscape whirls and cascades herself before our eyes. Across fifty poems our classic poets including Christina Georgina Rossetti, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Thomas Hardy & Dante Gabriel Rossetti find verse and tender words to match the occasion. Their descriptions of nature’s ever-evolving landscape and humanity’s ever-changing lives emblazon the page with the lively ink that shapes us all. 1 - Fifty Shades of October - An Introduction 2 - October by Paul Laurence Dunbar 3 - October by Lucy Hamilton Hooper 4 - October Musings 1866 by Janet Hamilton 5 - October by John Jay Chapman 6 - October's Bright Blue Weather by Helen Hunt Jackson 7 - October by George Arnold 8 - An Ode, Written October 1819 Be
