orange tide
awaits the moon
and frost to call it home
Galaxy
pumpkin wears
a constellation of light
and the black of night
On the Stoop
black cat and pink pumpkin
wait for halloween’s
ringing of the doorbell
What The Field Watches
pumpkin on the mill stone
and so the seasons turn
Departure
finished pumpkin patch
crow makes his leave
winter is on the wing
Great Pumpkin
jack-o’-lantern
will light the way
keeping dark spirits at bay
Bewitching
a sensuous squash
entices with curves
Beguiled
In the moonlight
the shadow of summer’s ghost
passes by the pumpkin.
Ruffles
One of the first appearances of autumn’s finery
is the ruffled fungi in pumpkin and cream.
Pumpkin Scar
Gourds wear their own tattoos.
This is the symbol for courage.
