Pumpkins In Stairwell

Pumpkins in stairwell
I follow them down the steps
Each has eerie glow
From the small candle within
Lighting up its soul on fire

okay, russell... with all the remarkable pumpkin themes i have read, i might as well be cinderella's fairy godmother and turn you into one .. and that' s a compliment!... i cannot see any writer who has done any theme so varied and beautiful as yours... this piece ends with much tenderness, thus, " lighting up its soul on fire.."... ohhh, ohhh!..:) huggs!

Those pumpkins are uniquely different just like mankind..Enjoyed reading this morn..Thanks for stopping by..September was always the start of school in the south until the last few years..I can remember those summers how I would enjoy each day then mother would say well school starts back in two weeks or a week and how I would start worrying about how soon that would be..Sara
