October Dawn


Hello October.


October Dawn - Ted Hughes

October is marigold, and yet
A glass half full of wine left out

To the dark heaven all night, by dawn
Has dreamed a premonition

Of ice across its eye as if
The ice-age had begun its heave.

The lawn overtrodden and strewn
From the night before, and the whistling green

Shrubbery are doomed. Ice
Has got its spearhead into place.

First a skin, delicately here
Restraining a ripple from the air;

Soon plate and river on pond and brook;
Then tons of chain and massive lock

To hold rivers. Then, sound by sight
Will Mammoth and Sabre-tooth celebrate

Reunion while a fist of cold
Squeezes the fire at the core of the world,

Squeezes the fire at the core of the heart,
And now it is about to start.

  2. Do you want to increase your FICO score? Do you want to pay off your credit card debt? I want to use this medium in appreciating PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for his good service. He raised my FICO score up to 811 excellent within 6 days and he also helped me pay off 2 America Express collections which now report as paid in full and for less than the original amount. He did exactly what he said he would. Don’t waste your time thinking about these issues. Contact him now for help: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM
