Notes About The Poem

November 2, 2024, placed 4th in Andrea Dietrich's October Symbols--Pleiades Contest 

 
************************************************************************************************

Pumpkins


Plant in July, down South
Pollinator, squash bee
Perfect for fall displays
Pepitas, healthy seeds
Pureed, served many ways
Palatable in pies
Plump ones may weigh a ton!
