~ Oct 1 ~

Ground shivers and shakes
Under a orange red blanket,
Running of the Leaves

~ Oct 2 ~

Everfree Forest
Leans a few inches closer
With the autumn wind

~ Oct 3 ~

Filly crusaders
Skip and squeal once more in school.
Respite for chickens

~ Oct 4 ~

Monarch butterflies
Gather and travel in swarms
Through Ponyville

~ Oct 5 ~

Skies cleared, work is done
No more small clouds for naps—Ah!
Unbucked apple trees

~ Oct 6 ~

Pegasus race above
Distant world out of my reach
Further than the moon

~ Oct 7 ~

Long nights with cake and punch
Don't go home yet, sing one more song.
Does Pinkie ever sleep?

~ Oct 8 ~

My little bunny
Playing in the fallen leaves
All belongs to him

~ Oct 9 ~

Leaves are raked up in
Neat little piles, but Angel
Can't find his castle

~ Oct 10 ~

Insects wait all day
Overhearing our worries,
Snickering at night

~ Oct 11 ~

Cider season lines
Murmurs and excitement while
They wait for sunrise

~ Oct 12 ~

Couple with the colt
Fighting behind the squash stall
Moving-away sale

~ Oct 13 ~

Summer snow in springtime's harvest
Can wait—after tea.
Rules were made to be broken

~ Oct 14 ~

Wet autumn mornings
Start with a roar and a wheeze
The bear has a cold

~ Oct 15 ~

Beetle in the grass
Lost between the stalks, running
Toward Everfree

~ Oct 16 ~

Before she moved here
A Canterlot tradition
She craves pumpkin spice?

~ Oct 17 ~

Scarecrow with the scarf
The crows tell me you're quite rude
You pretend to listen

~ Oct 18 ~

Farm dog rolls around
Collecting the autumn rain
To bring to the house

~ Oct 19 ~

Bass drop shakes the moon
Reflected in her glasses
Even Luna can hear

~ Oct 20 ~

Below, the top of
Each tree shakes one at a time
Make the apples fall

~ Oct 21 ~

Wheels against the dirt
Scrapes loudly through dusk's shadow
Restless filly

~ Oct 22 ~

A night in the woods
Making a new home
For this raccoon family

~ Oct 23 ~

Tree stands silently
Rows of holes released their sounds
Missing woodpecker

~ Oct 24 ~

Leaping and landing
From carrot field to cart
One last grasshopper.

~ Oct 25 ~

Fruit bats need a home,
Not enough apples to share
With a cursed pony

~ Oct 26 ~

Long coats and big hats
Sparkling eyes and smile bring warmth
In the autumn chill

~ Oct 27 ~

Birds migrating south
Following the pegasi
Where-ever they go

~ Oct 28 ~

Hot roasted chestnuts
Eat them while you're trotting home
Everything gets cold

~ Oct 29 ~

Cold pony faces
Smiling and glowing at night
Back at carved pumpkins

~ Oct 30 ~

Too shy to show off
Waits for ponies to look up
Behind starry nights

~ Oct 31 ~

Playful past horrors
Give treats, Nightmare Night's princess
Just not this door
