October

Fire!
If there’s a fire,
What should you do?
Get out of the house
If it’s safe for you to.
Go to your meeting spot,
Call 911.
Wait with your family
Until the fire’s all gone.
                -Sheila Forsyth

Trying
I’m trying to be very brave
In all I say and do,
But when I hear the fire bell ring,
I shiver through and through.
                -Pauline C. Peck

I Want To Vote
I want to vote
When I grow up,
To let my country know—
The person that
I think is best
To help our country grow.
                -Virginia H. Niles

Fall
Leaves are falling gently down,
Orange, yellow, red, and brown.
Whirling, twirling, round and round,
Quietly they touch the ground.
                -Marie E. Cecchini

Observation
Look around in fall
And what do you see?
Squirrels hiding nuts
As they scamper up a tree.
Birds flying south,
Children walking to school,
Getting ready for winter
As the air turns cool.
                -Marie E. Cecchini


Pumpkin Poem
Pumpkins grow on a long, long vine.
I pick the biggest one as mine.
I roll it home,
Then cut out eyes,
While mom bakes us a pumpkin pie.
                -Marie E. Cecchini

Pumpkin Patch
Walk through the pumpkin patch
To see what you can find.
Small, medium, or large,
Pick up your favorite kind.
Carry your pumpkin home
And carve it carefully
Into a jack-o-lantern
For the neighborhood to see.
                -Carol Quinn
