Ripe??????

Corseted like a buxom women
in deathly white with orbs ripe.
Pierced with stem of male delight,
a Vampiric presence in the patch
albino pumpkin in lamplight 
grub laced fright.
Pupilless eye 
of ghoul’s night.

Cute, witty Deb, your female pumpkin! Haven't been mushroom hunting yet, can blame it on that. Lol. Sincerely, Love, Moses
