Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Pumpkins By the Door

Nothing shouts out autumn
Like a pumpkin by the door 
Or a window jack-o-lantern
(What a pumpkin's really for).  

Yes, the leaves are falling quickly
And the air is crisp and fine
But a pumpkin is the exclamation point
(Italics mine).

If you live where autumn visits
Then you really can't afford
To be stuck without a pumpkin
(Or you're out of, yes, your gourd!).

Andrea Dietrich October 9, 2014 at 10:48 PM LOVE This one. I did a pumpkin poem a long time ago. Actually two or three!! Do you clean out the seeds and cook them in salt and butter. THis is my yummy tradition each year before halloween!! I share them with my students and sometimes they really like them.

Robert Johnson October 7, 2014 at 3:18 PM Clever little summary that should increase the sales. For no one wants to be thought of in the way your poem entails. :)

Demetrios Trifiatis October 7, 2014 at 5:37 AM Very delightful writing that made me smile reminiscing my days in Canada where the Autumn visits and pumpkins are by the door! Excellent dear, Ilene!
