Gems glitter on grass,
royal-blue ribbons herald fall,
sunflowers drinking light.
A wedge of geese honks,
cornstalks rattle their fingers,
Joe-pye weeds dancing.
Pumpkins dot the patch,
the old wagon is loaded.
Mama's pie baking.
Ghosts fly through the skies,
stars sparkle on black velvet,
a barn owl resounds.

Wishing all my blogger friends Happy Halloween!

I love the picture language of this poem and the beautiful pictures included in the post. And I am SO ready for autumnal weather after the summer we've had!
Enjoyed reading your poem. My nephew lives in Hickory, NC Janice
Looking at this picture of pumpkins, I have visions of pumpkin pie. I'm going to get started and bake. I love the poem that you have written that goes with it. BVLW
