To_Autumn

To Autumn In the poem “To Autumn”, by John Keats, there are three stanzas, which are almost like three different poems in one. The first stanza describes summer, the next fall, and the last is looking for spring. In the first stanza, Keats begins to describe summer. He doesn’t tell you this right away, but from the wording and the metaphors you can figure it out. “Seasons of mists and mellow fruitfulness,” which is summer, “Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun,” which is saying that summer and sun go together. The entire wording in this first stanza makes summer sound like a person and really gives it a personality. Saying that summer and the sun are going to decide how and how much each plant will grow or bare fruit. They are the bestest of friends and will decide the fate of how nature is going to happen. Will this plant bare the most fruit, or will this one' But then they will decide when summer will end, “For Summer has o’er-brimmed their clammy cells.” When nature has had too much, that is. In the second stanza of John Keats’ poem “To Autumn”, the topic switches to autumn. How ironic. “Who hath not seen spring, summer, autumn, poem, keats, songs, stanza, sun, saying, nature, first, watches, song, season, one, last, hair, fruit, describes, decide, away, words, wording, way, visual, very, trees, three, stanzas, seasons
