Description October you are cruel on the beating chest
With your black eyes come early and your
Native valley wind come blowing by
The hairs of the incensed black nights you breathe.
Through the creeks wept smoke lit from an
Inglenook in the corner if chilly cottages with
Wives knitting scarves and dead men’s faces
Above there, hanging in the light.  You
Were pitiless to the changing colors of
Leaves on the oaks and asked the flimsy
Orange, red, and yellow leaves
Who by they hung for? And who
Answered hung by their own necks by
The arms who they were thereby cradled.
October new how to drought sighs of young
Hearts wearing badges of uncertainty and
Angry curiosities.  October
You were like Ansel’s black skies and
White cloud skid rows in the daylight
Of November’s floundering airy head.

i disagree. I remember ray bradbury (correct? can't even remember his name) had a great paragraph on why October was the best month of the year in Something Wicked This Way Comes....of course I can't remember it right now and my copy disintegrated, so you'll have to use your imagination.
