Framing the opening stanza of Emily Dickinson's "It's all I have to bring today" (F17) is a beautiful watercolor illustration on an orange-toned background. Above the poem are an owl, a porcupine, and a chipmunk carrying different kinds of seeds, and to the right of the poem stanza is a little African American girl in a green dress with her hair pulled back in a green ribbon, carrying a pumpkin

Poem Text

October 1st
Emilytober Day 1

The morns are meeker than they were –
The daylight leaves in good time –
The cool breeze is our chauffer —
The leaves fall on a dime.
The fondness is familiar –
The Earth’s special redesign –
And as the world configures –
So too will I.

-E.R.H.

October 2nd
Emilytober Day 2

Best Witchcraft is geometry
From the outside looking in –
Are intangible possibilities of –
Both wickedness and greatness.

-E.R.H.
