what is the theme?

How does the theme tie into the poem?



There is something in the Autumn that is native to my blood –

Touch of manner, hint of mood;

And my heart is like a rhyme,

With the yellow and the purple and the crimson keeping time.



The scarlet of the maples can shake me like a cry

Of bugles going by.

And my lonely spirit thrills

To see the frosty asters like smoke upon the hills.



There is something in October sets the gipsy blood astir;

We must rise and follow her,

When from every hill of flame

She calls and calls each vagabond by name.

Similes are anything that says one thing is "like" another. Such as "my heart is like a rhyme". Metaphors are saying one thin "is" another thing to make a comparison. One example is that October is said to be a woman. The theme is the season of Fall and how it affects the person writing it in a special way.
