Ode to a Discarded Pumpkin

Pumpkin, sweet pumpkin

Carved up for display

A sacrifice made

To hasten decay.

Discarded on leaves,

Your final throne

Before the claw

Takes you away.

My labels: grandfather, father, veteran, writer, poet, photographer and dreamer in pursuit of the meaning of life. Getting close, although I'm running out of time--probably why I'm so close.
