Tim Smith Poet Personification

The Littlest Pumpkin

Week after week I can hear the laughter

echoing throughout the old tilled field

I can feel the patter of feet along with the dust

rubbing upon my toughened orange skin

The rains have come and my bed has become muddy

the laughs are getting softer as each day passes

I can see others carried away

but why not me

I may not be as big as my brothers or sisters

but I am perfect

not a blemish upon me

but here I sit

almost all alone left to rot.

Off in the distance I hear a little voice

"Mommy all these pumpkins are too heavy "

"No mommy that one is ugly"

I hear her getting closer

pick me. please please pick me

Then I see her....the most beautiful sight I have ever seen

Her big caramel eyes, staring right at me.

She swoops down and cradles me in her arms.

"Look mommy I found one"

"no it's not too small"

" It is just right"

 My heart smiles as I sit overlooking her.

Here on this fairy princess night stand.
