The Most Unlucky Pumpkin in the World

     One wonderful Tuesday, October 26th 2010 I was put in a pumpkin patch.  I hated it there but when I got a little used to it, I sort of liked it.  I mean, I have tons of friends out here in the pumpkin patch. 
     Two weeks after I just arrived, I saw someone looking at me.  I thought the boy was going to pick me up and he did.  He took me to his house and set me on the table.  I felt so nervous, I almost peed in my pants.  Oh!
I don't even have any pants!  Never mind.  I saw him with something like a mini saw and it was pointing at me.  What does he think he is?  A pumpkin surgeon or something?  He started cutting holes in me.  "It hurts, stop," I told him.  But he didn't hear me.  Now I remember what my friend told me that it's a thing that people do to us on Halloween. People do it to honor the evil spirits. 
      Then, the boy took all of my beautiful babies and put them in a frying pan and he ate them.  Next thing I know I see a candle in me.  I wish I were never a pumpkin ever again.

Winter is...

   Winter is the time he nips your nose
   will it snow?
   we never know.
   popcorn balls falling from the sky
   as the sun picks white sugarplums that fly.
   Mr. Frost will make you sneeze
   and Mrs. Frost will make you freeze.
   A blanket lies on the frozen grass
   why do they put Winter last?
   little white ballerinas twirling in the air
   and now Ms. Winter is sad because she lost her flair.
