Ha, Ha. So clever. The narrator is talking about pumpkins of course. They are plentiful and oh, how are sadistic self loves to carve holes in them.

Well, this one isn't for children but for Halloween starved adults who just can't get enough of all the blood and gore! You definitely let rip here, Jim, and your verse excellently reflected the horror of the visual and the theme of the season. Well done! Debbie

    I helped my grandson carve a pumpkin yesterday, and that's what gave me the idea for this poem. I started feeling sorry for the pumpkins and thought it might help to warn them.

I rarely review poetry, but this one is clever. I got it, but not until the third stanza. Great flow and rhythm. And nice rhyming. Good work.
Best wishes.

I never used to think I'm smart, but I did guess it before the end. It was as simple as pie. Ouch! That aside, it was a delightful entry for this contest and should make it to the top.

I was glad to see you release another something other than the book in progress. A varied twist and in the nick of time for All Saints Day. I wonder hoiw it got that moniker?

    Starting to write a little more poetry now as I'm nearing the end of the story.
