White Pumpkin's Special Meaning

White buffalo are sacred to Native American tribes Symbols of hope and prosperity, to see one you are blessed A cart filled with white pumpkins offers our dear friend who scribes To her unique and loving heart this harvest does attest A gift of spiritual grandeur we are offered freely Marvel at its beauty and behold its great power Choosing from this selection might be easier ideally If we think of it first as a special Halloween flower Share the wealth among us, our sweet friend always does I pick one that catches my eye, matching her ivory skin Much like a white rose’s beauty compared to others outdoes I’ll venerate this pumpkin knowing her kindness lies within *Entry for Carol Brown’s “White Pumpkin” contest October 24 by Carolyn Devonshire

Congratulations on your first place, Carolyn in Carol Brown's Pumpkin contest. The last line of the third stanza ends the poem with much thoughtfulness and devotion. Please check your Soup Mail. I would love to receive a Christmas card from a very special friend. God bless you and smile. Thanks for your comments. Have a Happy Thanksgiving Day. Hugs, Andrew.

Good morning, Carolyn...Til now, I never gave a white pumpkin any thot at all...your poem is deep with heritage and cultural competence. Always enjoy reading your unique views on topics such as this...and the final line is great personification...just like the Indian's believe the spirit lies within...so smooth and crafty. My 17 yr old carved her jackolantern into a Pikacho Japanese character...it hasn't started meowing just yet! lol...All the best as you are traveling. Gwendolen
