Story · for reading together
Robert Frost was a poet who lived on a farm in America. He wrote poems that sound simple and tuck a big feeling inside.
His little poem 'October' is like a letter. He writes to the morning itself. He says: please, go GENTLY. Please, let the leaves fall one at a time, not all at once. He does not want the autumn to be over.
A poem you know by heart is a small thing you can carry anywhere. Today you will learn two lines.
