Legend of the White Pumpkin

Legend has it
She cast her spell to gain his love
With a lock of his hair and feather of a dove
He murdered her on all hallows night
Then planted a pumpkin on her grave site
White as her hair the pumpkin did grow
Legend says it is so


Wow 50 words burns up quick
that was harder than i thought
it would be.
