No More Nice Pumpkin!

I'm a little pumpkin, Perfect for your needs; Open up my rounded top, Remove those tiny seeds Use your crafty wits, To carve my gaping eyes; Create in me a daunting smile, Much to one's surprise Place a well-lit candle, Inside my hollow head; I'm now a wicked Jack-o'-lantern, My face will scare you dead!

As the week ends I find myself reading and enjoying the many diverse poems here at PoetrySoup today. I am glad to see your poetry among these Milton. It has been awhile since I seen you post. Have a wonderful weekend. Love, Carol

This description could fit some people I know too, Milton. They start out beautiful and innocent and are carved up by the evils in todays world. I think there's more here than the words on the surface. Very intriguing rhyme! Love, Carolyn
