Fall poems for kids are the topic of our blog post today!
Today, as I settled into my cozy writing nook, I was reflecting on the ancient art of poetry and the giddy excitement that accompanies the fall season. I reached out to ChatGPT, this interesting piece of artificial intelligence that is changing the way we interact with words. I was curious, maybe even a little skeptical, but the results? Well, they were lovely!
These poems appeared in my chat window like little gifts, each with their own personality and charm. Still, deep down I’m a little old-fashioned. I’ve taken these machine-generated gems and given them a human touch, a few minor edits here and there, to make sure they’re in tune with the educator soul you’ve come to expect from this blog.
As you read these poems, I hope you feel the crisp air, see the leaves swirling, and capture a little of the magic that makes fall so special. Let’s use these poems as a tool, not only to celebrate the season, but to open the dialogue about how technology is adding new layers to our creative and learning journeys.

Autumn poems for children
Here are 15 fall poems for kids that capture the vibes of the fall season:
The tale of an autumn day
The leaves dance, don’t you see?
Spinning, spinning from the tree.
Red and gold in the bright sunbeam,
Paint portraits of a nice fall day.
The Pumpkin Wish
In a patch, so round and grand,
A pumpkin dreamed throughout the land.
“I want to be a cake,” he said,
Or maybe a bright red flashlight.
autumn wind
The autumn wind whispers a secret, you know,
While rustling the leaves and dusting the crow.
It says: “Winter is near, but don’t worry, friend,
Because every season has an end and a chance to begin.”
Squirrel’s Busy Day
Little squirrel, oh so grey,
All day collecting acorns.
Winter is near, there is a lot to do.
There is no time for games, not even a few.
Autumn night, bright starry
Autumn night, bright starry,
The moon is a lantern in the sky.
Childish laughter and apple pie,
Oh, how time flies!
The Apple tree
In the garden, don’t you see it?
An adult apple tree is found.
“Pick me, pick me,” the apples beg,
They will soon be in mom’s chutney.
harvest moon
Up in the sky, neither a plane nor a kite,
It’s the Harvest Moon, so big and so bright.
Look at the fields where all the pumpkins lie,
And whispers: “Happy autumn!” at the end of the day.
The colors of autumn
Red is for apples, so juicy and sweet.
Yellow is for corn with such clean kernels.
Orange for pumpkins, lined up in a row,
Brown for the soil, where all things grow.
Halloween is near
The ghosts say, “Boo!” and the witches say, “Heh!”
The Jack-o-lanterns are smiling from ear to ear.
Candy and costumes, oh my god!
It must mean that Halloween is near.
Fresh autumn air
Inhale, exhale, do you smell?
The crisp fall air says all is well.
The leaves crunch under the comfortable boots,
Autumn gives the earth a hug.
The work of the scarecrow
Mr. Scarecrow, tall and thin,
Keeping an eye on the pumpkin vine.
With straw for hair and clothes so old,
Scare the crows, oh how bold!
The fall parade
Here comes Autumn, a parade in the street,
With leaves like confetti at everyone’s feet.
Jump in a pile or throw them in the air.
Oh, the joy of autumn, nothing else can compare.
autumn acorn
Little acorn on the ground,
What is the secret you have found?
Buried deep in the earth’s embrace,
Someday you will be a tree, instead.
The owl’s question
Who-who-who goes there?
asks the owl in the cold air.
“It is autumn? Is near?”
“Yes,” say the leaves, “autumn is here!”
The squirrel race
Run, run, climb the tree,
Mr. Squirrel is very busy.
Collecting acorns, one, two, three,
Saving them for his family.
