Fall Poems for Kid are the topic of our blog post today!
Today, as I settled into my cozy writing nook I was mulling over the age-old art of poetry and the giddy excitement that comes with the fall season. I reached out to ChatGPT—this cool piece of artificial intelligence that’s changing the way we interact with words. I was curious, maybe even a bit skeptical, but the results? Well, they were delightful!
These poems popped up in my chat window like little gifts, each with its own personality and charm. Still, I’m a bit old-school at heart. I took these machine-generated gems and gave them a little human touch, some minor edits here and there, to make sure they’re in tune with the educator’s soul you’ve come to expect from this blog.
As you read through these poems, I hope you feel the crisp air, see the swirling leaves, and capture a little bit of the magic that makes fall so special. Let’s use these poems as a tool, not just to celebrate the season, but to open up dialogue about how technology is adding new layers to our learning and creative journeys.

Fall Poems for Kids
Here are 15 fall poems for kids that capture the vibes of the autumnal season:
A Fall Day’s Tale
The leaves are dancing, can’t you see?
Twirling, whirling from the tree.
Red and gold in the sun’s bright ray,
Painting portraits of a Fall’s fine day.
The Pumpkin’s Wish
In a patch, so round and grand,
A pumpkin dreamed across the land.
“I wish to be a pie,” it said,
Or maybe a lantern glowing red.
Autumn Wind
The Autumn wind whispers a secret, you know,
As it rustles the leaves and dusts off the crow.
It says, “Winter is near, but worry not, friend,
For each season’s an end and a chance to begin.”
Squirrel’s Busy Day
Little squirrel, oh so gray,
Gathering acorns all day.
Winter’s near, there’s much to do,
No time for games, not even a few.
Fall Night, Starry Bright
Fall night, starry bright,
Moon’s a lantern in the sky.
Children’s laughs and apple pie,
Oh, how time does simply fly!
The Apple Tree
In the orchard, can’t you see?
Stands a full-grown apple tree.
“Pick me, pick me,” apples plea,
Soon they’ll be in mom’s chutney.
Harvest Moon
Up in the sky, not a plane nor a kite,
It’s the Harvest Moon, so big and so bright.
It watches the fields where the pumpkins all lay,
And whispers, “Happy Fall!” at the end of the day.
The Colors of Fall
Red is for apples, so juicy and sweet,
Yellow’s for corn with kernels so neat.
Orange for pumpkins, lined up in a row,
Brown for the soil, where all things grow.
Halloween’s Near
Ghosts say, “Boo!” and witches say, “Hee!”
Jack-o-lanterns grin from ear to ear.
Candy and costumes, oh my, oh dear!
It must mean Halloween is near.
Crisp Autumn Air
Inhale, exhale, do you smell?
The crisp Autumn air says all is well.
Leaves crunching under boots so snug,
Autumn gives the earth a hug.
Scarecrow’s Job
Mr. Scarecrow, tall and fine,
Watching over the pumpkin vine.
With straw for hair and clothes so old,
He scares the crows, oh, so bold!
The Fall Parade
Here comes Fall, a parade in the street,
With leaves as confetti at everyone’s feet.
Jump in a pile, or throw them in the air,
Oh, the joy of Fall, nothing else can compare.
Autumn Acorn
Tiny acorn on the ground,
What’s the secret that you’ve found?
Buried deep in earth’s embrace,
Someday you’ll be a tree, in place.
The Owl’s Question
Who-Who-Who goes there?
The owl asks, in the chilly air.
“Is it Fall? Is it near?”
“Yes,” say the leaves, “Autumn’s here!”
The Squirrel’s Dash
Scurry, scurry, up the tree,
Mr. Squirrel’s as busy as can be.
Gathering acorns, one, two, three,
Saving them up for his family.
