Welcoming Winter

pumpkins sit and smile
                scarecrows wave from empty fields
                            welcoming winter

I am a little puzzled here. I think that the list of winners in the Fall/Winter Haiku contest got turned upside down, as your Haiku is on the bottom of the winners list---when it really was the best one (that I read, anyway). As Maureen said (below), it's cheerful, and it's wonderful too, Heidi. The concept and expression are just so pleasant. It's a FAVE for me! :) Gershon

Gershon, I just today saw a blog that she made that we were not supposed to capitalize the title. I did that and after the list was shown, i realized what I'd done and made my title small letters. Not sure it would have made a difference for me, but i bet it would have for Heidi here.
