Electric Grin by *Garnet-43:iconGarnet-43:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Humor > Fixed




Ceramic pumpkin,
Ghostly grin,
Electric candlelight within-
The convenience is high,
And there’s certainly less
Of a seedy, pulpy, pumpkin mess...

And drawing the face,
And deciding the smile-
Blunt teeth or jagged?
(This takes a while)
Careful carving,
Avoiding a slip
Giggles and laughs
Make it hard to grip.
Find the candle it needs
Then roasting the seeds...

Did I say I prefer the ceramic one?
The truth is... a real pumpkin’s much more fun!

I love my ceramic pumpkin, and although I hate the slimy mess that carving a real pumpkin makes I cannot deny that there is a certain charm about doing it the old-fashioned way.

I don't do much for Halloween either (other than set up my ceramic pumpkin) now that Amber is too old for 'trick-or-treating.' Once in a while when I am scheduled to work on Halloween I wear my witch's hat to work. That's fun.

Thanks so much for the :+fav: ! :aww:
