Frost on the Pumpkin

When Autumn chills the Air with cool kisses 

we wander down the rows of Pumpkins 

basking in the Sun... remembering the Fun 

when we were young and foolish and a bit Goulish... 

The Scare Crows were charming and a bit alarming 

when they spoke and began to dance and romance... 

The Cornstalks with Silky soft Angel hair began to 

sing "let me call you Sweetheart" at the end of Summer...

Hi Patricia, This is a truly wonderful piece of whimsical poetry. Autumn has to be my favourite season and this song of Autumn does sing for me. Your gentle words forever paint such wonderful, soft images that make the heart sing. An awesome write. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Hugs always....Mike.

dear Shadrach... Autumn is a "whimsical time of year.
The Squirrels and Cardinals eat Sunflower seeds side by side on the Railing of our Deck. Occasionally a large Bluejay visits, as well as Mourning Doves. There is a Nip in the Air as Winter Winds are on the Horizon.
May your Thanksgiving be blessed with a Cornucopia of fruits and vegetables and a pumpkin Pie on the side. gently, Pat

dearest Kathy... there is a Nip in the Air when Apricot leaves rustle their Rose Hips smile. Sugar Maple leaves turn to Gold as Love unfolds. Enjoyed your visit... gently, Pat

I love to see frost on the pumpkins. It just seems to scream- whipcream and pie.

[Patricia Wedel]

How sweet... Cherrie... my Mom always made Pumpkin Pies and we added Whipped Cream.
Love your sounds of screams... I miss reading you and wish you the Best Autumn and Thanksgiving... and even Halloween. tenderly, Pat

[Cherrie Palmer]

Matt has his 1st week of radiation down and we are hoping to get back to normal soon. :) Thank you my dear friend.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Cherrie... our Prayers are ascending for you and Matt. Miracles do occur when we believe. I went through Chemo and Radiation in 2007... and I am blessed so far. Lovingly, Pat

This poem is a slam-dunk! You've knocked it out of the pumpkin patch with (1) great autumn imagery, (2) great internal rhyming, and (3) "Let me call you sweetheart" -- that song is such a great pick for this poem. I love the photo of you & Roger. The pumpkins on your hearth. I can picture the pumpkin patch where you two are playing around like kids. It's all there. This poem has it all. I think it's the best poem I've ever read from you . . . at least in 2021! *wink! wink!* I'm happy that you have a warm loving friendship & longtime love affair that inspires you to such heights! (((HUGS)))

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Margie... I adore your review. It had me dancing like a Gypsy with Bells on my Toes. We do enjoy the Seasons.. especially Autumn with all the Magenta and Gold leaves fluttering in the Wind. Roger and I both are Colorful Characters in our Western Style of dressing with Cowboy Boots and Country Songs. Sorry to wait so long to respond to your sweetest of Reviews. gently, Pat

[barleygirl]

No worries! I've been preoccupied too! Got all my firewood under the carport just before our supposedly rainy week is to begin . . .

[Chris Shaw]

This is a delightful nostalgic autumn poem. Pumpkins always make me think of Halloween. Each year I make pumpkin soup after we have made our pumpkin lanterns. Thank you dear Pat and have a lovely day.

Chris

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Chris... Pumpkin Lanterns are warm smiles of family gatherings... "Panera Bread" serves Pumpkin Soup with a sprinkle of Nutmeg. Apple Cider is so comforting beside an Autumn fire with Chestnuts Roasting. May your Joys be many. tenderly, Pat

[lightsong]

may your hearts always be under this spell of beauty, love, sweetness and warmth~

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Song of Light... A pleasure to read your review. Autumn seems to be very nostalgic this year... the beauty of Camaraderie with the flow of people from other Countries... we wonder how it will be as time goes by. Prayers ascending. gently, Pat

[Betty Hermelee]

What a light-hearten poem this is. and funny too; and the spooky scarecrows and corn stalks started singing... that's Halloween for you... a happy season of colors and joy.
Have a ghostly Halloween...
all the best
B.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Betty... Yes, it is humorous to dance with Scare Crow in rows of Pumpkins with Corn Stalk Angels with soft silky hair singing love songs. gently, Pat

[Betty Hermelee]

You’re very welcome dear pat…
Best
B.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

I like the days when the weather is becoming a bit cooler, giving some relief from the summer heat. And I enjoyed your autumn offering. F.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Fabian... growing up my Cousins and myself ran through the Cornfield on Grandpa's Farm. Field Pumpkins were Orange with a hint of Pink. I still think of Autumn with Witches and Goblins... and love to see the Children in their Costumes. Thanks for stopping by... and Have a Great Autumn Season. gently, Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

nice embedded rhyme...and this is of my favorite season...October, Halloween...
wonderful weather for cuddling...
and as you say, feeling a bit Goulish.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Jacob... a beautiful morning here in Virginia by the Rappahannock River. The Maple trees are decorated with bright Orang leaves edged in Gold.
October's Sun is Bold as our feelings unfold. Chrysanthemums are comforting like Grandma's smile and Pumpkins Rock like Grandpa's Chair. Blessings abound as the World turns and we yearn for Peace and Love. tenderly, Pat

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

A sweet tribute to this time of year Pat. You capture the fall season so eloquently in your poem. The rows of pumpkins and also the description of the cornstalks which to me define fall. Thank you for this colorful piece of poetry.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Carlos... you are so kind and I appreciate your relaxed way of enjoying Autumn... it certainly gives us a reason to "bundle up" with a Scarf and Sweater... when the Weather is predicting an early Snow... don't you know. tenderly, Pat
