Notes About The Poem

Does the appearance of the white pumpkin have a similar meaning to that of the white buffalo?

The Pumpkin

A Jack-O-Lantern
To make her first pumpkin pie
Why a white pumpkin?



____________________________________


The pumpkin hides beneath a prickly vine 
To protect the goodness, till fully grown 
Celebrations center at harvest time 
Strange looks at my table's content at home 

Spoken in mime was by biggest surprise 
When shown all looked, blinked and gasped 
The first white pumpkin pie, that is so wise 
What to interpret, a sign from the past?
