Nice job. I never thought of pumpkins being disemboweled, but your choice of words is most appropriate for the weirdness of the season. I also like your use of the mascot analogy, though I am trying to wrap my brain around your exact meaning. Did you mean they symbolize the season, or that we love them and adopt them as a pet. Not sure. I enjoyed it.

    Well June, I suppose I believe we love the fun and sometimes fear that they bring to an already crazy, fun holiday. I do believe they symbolize the season as we have adopted them as the faces of Halloween. Thank you for the awesome review.
    God bless!

I just Binged Pumpkin, and it's a member of a big family, cucurbita, along with squash and gourds, so I won't argue. Just don't serve me any gourd pie. (there's an old mountain saying, "bitter as a gourd.") anyway the point here is clear. Excellent.

    LOL! I suppose no one would ask for Gourd Pie! I never thought of it this way, but will never look at pumpkin pie the same. Thank you for the awesome review.
    God bless!

Your Halloween poem is interesting and well written. Your artwork is exceptional and goes well with your poem. Halloween a good night to stay home and not answer the door.

Disemboweled gourds? I love it! Perfect word choice to lend creepiness to this excellent 5-7-5 Halloween haiku. :) Nancy

A Haiku for the times that
triggers images of the mascots
that lay on ever porch and
lawn lighting up the nights
with ghoulish grins.
Well done

Fun poem. Especially liked the phrasing "Halloween mascots." The ending play-on-words of "disemboweled gourds" versus "disemboweled ghouls" makes it a fun read.
