Linda-Marie Sweetheart Poet Tanka

The Pumpkin Shuffle

    "THE PUMPKIN SHUFFLE"



MIDNIGHT CHIMES MISTY
PUMPKIN SHUFFLE SWINGS EERIE
SMILING GLOWING SMILES

ROLLING ROUND HAUNTED CASTLE
DRACULA SMELLS PUMPKIN PIE.


JACK-O-LANTERNS STRUT
HIDE AND SEEK SO KNIFE WON'T CUT
RAVENS FANCY FEAST

PUMPKIN PATCH HIDES MASQUERADE
VAMPY THIRSTS FOR MARMALADE.


PUMPKINS PINCH MOIST SOIL
OVEN HEAT BEGINS TO BOIL
SCOOPING INSIDES OUT

YUMMY SWEET TREAT TASTES SO GOOD
PUMPKINS SHUFFLE 'NEATH CAPED HOOD.
