Today is National Pumpkin Day being so the fall/Halloween word to use for the second time is PUMPKIN. Yesterday was PUMPKIN CARVING but on November 2nd, the word was PUMPKIN(S). I wondered about how to do the challenge today and did first the acrostic then a verse. The acrostic mentions about how they can be used for Halloween. Yes they can be carved; painted fancy or a combination of both. I just liked to leave the pumpkin as is; not carved or painted up. Of course in Florida they don’t last long outside.
I wrote the verse piece about how a pumpkin is a seasonal object. If you think about it, you only have the pumpkin for a few short weeks then evergreens take its place.
This is Halloween week and all week I will be celebrating. In fact all my daily ads I do for the Facebook page of my veterans organizations club will have a Halloween look to it.
Until tomorrow....enjoy the day. I still need to pick up candy, not for trick-or-treaters, but for those at the club. Have a great day and as always Stay Safe.

Picking the perfect pumpkin to carve a
smiling face
Unless it’s painted instead with a fun design
Many options does one have to do with the
pumpkin
Possibly combine carving and painting the
gourd
Kids and adults enjoy the fun of pumpkin
picking in the fall
It is the seasonal object like an evergreen
tree at Christmas
Not only does the pumpkin make great
decorations but tasty treats

Happy face of the pumpkin
with vacant triangle eyes
Sitting in the window staring out
into the world
A electric candle inside lights up it’s grin
Those walk past the house see the
sneering gourd
that watches those strolling on a cool
autumn evening
During the day it appears to sleep
but come dusk it awakes as the
orange face glows in the dark
Each night for a few weeks the pumpkin
takes center stage in the picture window
Day after Halloween it’ll be no more
Soon an evergreen will take its place
