Ghost of the Season

Ghost of the Season ~ Tangled with dread, in the fields of the night Pumpkins have gathered, to stay out of sight They huddle together, and hide under vines Trembling with fear, after witnessing signs The voice of dark winter Is blowing a warning The frightening whispers Are bringing a shiver A snow cloud appears, on the distant horizon The sprinkles of rain have turned into ice fronds Each pumpkin of gold, is shivering cold So frightened of freezing, they have turned into white ones…

Carrie, there are a lot of wannabe poets, but you really have the talent. This delightful poem is just one example of why I look forward to reading your words. There's a maturity, vivid imagery, and a story. Bravo! You actually make sa statement on the finite quality of life itself in a poem about white pumpkins. Surely a big winner in Carol's contest. Love, Carolyn
