Here is my entry to the #FallWritingFrenzy contest!
Scooping Guts
My first Jack-O-Lantern
Will be the talk of the town!
I’ll win the award.
Wear the Halloween crown.
My carving will startle,
Will shock, and will scare.
People will pause on their walk
And just stare!
“Genius!” they’ll cry
“What child is so smart
that from a boring old pumpkin,
they created this art?!”
The lines will be crisp
The picture alight.
Gory Halloween detail
Will give people a fright.
It might be so good
A museum takes it away.
They’ll buy a glass case
And put it up on display.
“Dad, cut off the top,
So I can begin!”
I pass him the knife,
And he plunges it in.
My excitement grows
As he saws and he cuts
Then he lifts off the top… GROSS!!
I am NOT scooping guts!!
