A Praiseful Panegyric Poem Portrayed with Pumpkins and Prettily Penned

I have a fountain of praise for October
I don't have to think it over
golden leaves fall like money
cool breeze blows and the sun shines like honey
on all the spooky pumpkins in the patch
dreaming of becoming jack-o-lanterns

the prompts

Money


October

  7. This is sooo cool!!
    "dreaming of becoming jack-o-lanterns" would be a Happy Ending. All things on earth end, some endings are better than others. Ones not picked will rot awaunnoticed, the little ones will be cut up and boiled, then smushed and baked in a pumpkin pie. They will have no voice in which ending.
    Again, this was a very nice message.
    Hang Tight!!

  9. October is a favorite here, too. Often the heat of the swamps tempers just a bit, enough to let us know we will get that break soon. Enjoy your pumpkins!
