Pumpkin Patches
By: Noah Eaton
9/22/01

As the leaves bleach in chartreuse
I sprout my proud arms up from beneath the ground
Greeting fellow threshers leftover nectar
Held secret from the spring and the summer tryouts

My seeds bare harvest to all
I am the mother of Autumnal merit
My seeds will spread and my children will aflame the prairie
We are the special recipe that makes a fine homemade banquet

I have millions of sons and daughters
Of all different kinds of sizes
I seduce feelow farmers and children everywhere
And sweet little hares love to visit by suprise

From a long slumber I awaken, to model my apparel
Children love to play with me and I host trick-or-treating
Me and my family thank you this autumn, for being our close friend
Pay me a visit anytime, you know where you can find me

They grow pumpkins out at my wifes homestead ... fields of them
People come out with their children to pick  a host for their jackolanterns and most ride the horse drawn wagons back and forth and make a scarecrow while they're there

Your poem sparks these memories ...
Can't wait!
