The Pumpkin Patch

Children see pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere.
When they visit the pumpkin patch it's a family affair.
There are giant pumpkins, baby pumpkins, and pumpkins just right,    
And kids take off running in the pumpkin patch with delight.

Some children try to pick up heavy pumpkins that won't move,
While others sit on their pick, hoping Mom will approve.
They laugh and play in the pumpkin patch as they roam,
And if the kids are lucky, two pumpkins will go home.

One pumpkin will be carved to grace their front door,
The other Mom will make pies from for them to adore.
The pumpkin patch provides joy for families each year.
For kids, creating that jack-o’-lantern is a tradition held dear.

Jeff Davies Date: 10/2/2016 8:08:00 PM Hi Brenda. Your poem brought back a lot of good memories from when I was a kid. My grandparents always had a pumpkin patch where I spent a lot of time. Nice poem, Jeff Login to Reply Brenda Mcgrath Date: 10/2/2016 8:15:00 PM Thank you Jeff. I live in Georgia now, but I lived in New Hampshire over 25 years. They are really into pumpkin patches in the North, as well as corn mazes. It makes a fun day for the kids.
