Pumpkins
Beside a field
Of stalks
Of long picked corn

What is it about orange
That seems so Autumn

Tonight
Despite a proven
Lack of skill
A Jack- o’- lantern
Will be at the window
With a single candle
Burning inside

Bring out the sweets
White and dark chocolates
Let three musketeers
And all their friends
Be fully armed

We’ll ruin the appetites
Of witches ghosts
And what various forms
Of death there are
That come to our door

And keep them away
For another year

Nice write the first verse took me back to my Grandads farm. Picturesque past.

"Pumpkins
Beside a field
Of stalks
Of long picked corn"

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.

Very good. Might be the leaves, or "the light? The lay of the land?" Who knows... Your juxtaposition of the starkly colored chocolates reminds that there are seasonal prayers for delivery from Winter's harshness, too.

Enjoyed reading!
