The garden is fading, it's work is nearly done <br />Vegetables sparse, except for the orange globes that bask in the sun <br />It's been a good year for pumpkins, they've grown quite large and round <br />Some deep orange, others mixed with green, are scattered on the ground <br />Now images of designs jump into my head <br />Happy jack-o-lanterns, or goblins, with eyes of crimson red <br />Maybe pumpkins make you think of pumpkin rice or pumpkin pie <br />Right now they are just beautiful... as the autumn days pass by <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />9/28/09<br /><br />Rhonda Baker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-pumpkin-patch/
