If I … ©Dawn Minott |with audio

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

If I were a pumpkin, don’t carve me ugly
Dress me up like an angel, make me look lovely
With a graceful smile, and a heavenly glow
Carve me with beauty, let my radiance show

A halo like a crown ‘round my stem will twine
Wings of airy elegance, in moonlight they’ll shine
I’ll be a pumpkin transformed, with a scepter like art
With twinkling tea lights, I’ll cheer every heart

No ghoulish grimaces, no scary face on me
Just a pumpkin turned angel, beauty to see
With sweetness and charm, I’ll light up the night
A celestial creation, for autumn’s delight

Afterword: I’m not at all a fan of halloween—too creepy and frightening for me. Saw this alternative pumpkin displayed in an office, it resonated so well it inspired this poem!!!
