Notes About The Poem

Image result for Pictures of pumpkins/ pies

Optimistic Orange

Overjoyed at the prospects
Pumpkins orange and ripe
Totally ready dot the field 
Intermingled with weeds
Mature ready to be eaten
Ickle one, not a few
Summer nurtured the crop
Turned the field into apricot
Iconism for his optimism
Captured in that glorious lantern 

Open door to new adventure
Reaping the harvest of gratitude
Another aroma allspice in pumpkin cake 
Nacarat lusciousness in nutmeg spiced pie
Gift of God and of the garden
Enjoy optimistic orange 

Ickle(British) slang for little
Iconism-representation or semblance
Nacarat-orange-red

I am happy that you, too, are also optimistic about orange. Very lovely. Orange cream-sicles are also a nice treat, but of course pumpkin is the more natural way to go. This poem makes me hungry and thankful.
