The Pumpkin Patch Poem by Rhonda Baker

The garden is fading, it's work is nearly done
Vegetables sparse, except for the orange globes that bask in the sun
It's been a good year for pumpkins, they've grown quite large and round
Some deep orange, others mixed with green, are scattered on the ground
Now images of designs jump into my head
Happy jack-o-lanterns, or goblins, with eyes of crimson red
Maybe pumpkins make you think of pumpkin rice or pumpkin pie
Right now they are just beautiful... as the autumn days pass by
