Pie Eyed

The trees have pumpkin-pied themselves they're dipped in orange butterscotch. The squirrel's nests of pick-up sticks hide acorns stores which plink-plop. Below the apple trees bowed branches mother harvests windfalls for pies. Father takes a old buck down for mincemeat pie, bye and bye. The corn field's full of children small gathering ears for Dutch Corn pie. A cider smell of cinnamon reminds of crispy crusts on standby. Mother's at her best this season and all those pies-- why its the reason!

I think I gained 5lb just reading this lol, I would almost eat anything covered in a pie crust. Never had Dutch Corn pie, sounds great.

Debbie, this sweet poem is delicious! I can taste the pies...thanks for reading my I Am poem and for the kind comments. I wrote a pantoum yesterday and had a little trouble with the flow. It's called A Secret. If you get a chance, I could use an honest critique. Thanks. Love and Blessings, Rhonda
