The pungent smell of autumn <br />With the air so crisp and cool <br />Golden leaves tumble to the ground <br />A time for nature’s renewal <br /> <br />The pumpkins are harvested <br />When autumn time appears <br />They are ripe and ready <br />For the parade we all revere <br /> <br />Horses are hooked up <br />To wagons and carts <br />Folks all pile in <br />And we’re ready to start <br /> <br />Aren’t they just beautiful? <br />The pumpkins I mean <br />Every size shade and style <br />It’s a sweet autumn dream <br /> <br />The air is so fresh <br />The time is so right <br />It’s a pumpkin parade <br />What a beautiful sight!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pumpkin-parade/
