"The Harvest Before Winter"
By: Manuel R. CortezRodas
If we think it
not as a month
but as a time,
then October should be
the time of harvest.
Harvest before winter time
is assessing summer growth,
and also summer decline.
Reviewing new instruction time,
and understanding academic requirements.
Store before winter time.
Year's end planning guide.
Spring's arrival planning guide.
School's end planning guide.
Analyze structure for weather.
Prepare before winter time.
Apply knowledge and experience.
Have practice drills regularly.
As students, as classmates.
Grow during winter hibernation.
October is about harvesting,
storing the summer's growth,
preparing for winter's arrival,
waiting for next spring,
looking toward next summer.
