Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Autumnal Transition of the Bounty

The pumpkins
    The pumpkins
         The pumpkins all are gone.
Where did all the lovely pumpkins go?
I saw them just a month ago 
outside the grocery store-
so round and sitting pretty in a row.

Potatoes
     Potatoes
           Potato sales are on
the sweet, the brown, and every type we know.
Now trickling down from Idaho
to us are spuds galore.
When pumpkins disappear, potatoes flow!

Gert W. Knop November 11, 2010 at 4:56 AM We still have nice pumpkins here on sale as well as heaps of potatoes, Andrea! I do love pumpkin soup with meat balls and well spiced! Without potatoes I would feel hungry all day! Enjoyed your poem, Andrea! And thank you for all your kind comments! I had to revise my manuscript of a novel so I haven't been much on Soup lately...Love, Gert

Gerard Keogh Jr. November 4, 2010 at 3:19 PM This is good and I think that you should expand it another verse or two. My critique is that it is too short and the reader wants to read more. How are you? Sorry about the delays and lags, but I am going for a degree at my age in teaching and I am really tied up in schoolwork. Regards, Gerard

Carolyn Devonshire November 4, 2010 at 6:33 AM Check the fridge and you may find some pumpkin pie, Andrea. This is a fun poem in a unique style. Some folks carve faces on potatoes as well as pumpkins if that helps at all. LOL Enjoyed very much, Andrea! Love, Carolyn (Because of the clever style you employed, this might make a good entry for Constance's contest. If you enter it, I wish you success!) Love, Carolyn

Phyllis Babcock November 2, 2010 at 4:06 PM The pumpkins are now in the pie and the potatoes are taking their place in the oven as scalloped potatoes. l love poems about food....sure makes you hungry. Luv Phyl

Sara Kendrick November 2, 2010 at 7:27 AM Glad that different food items come off at different times so that we humans can enjoy bounty year round..God is so Good...The year that I went to the Halloween Carnival at the City Park was the only time that I celebrated Halloween growing up..That was a good time and a bad time..I ended up the next day with the measles rash all over me with nausea and a headache..We did not have as many immuzations back then..Sara
