This is such a lush and intensely vivid poem full of feeling. I love the repetition of "you are everywhere" throughout the poem. It really adds to the intensity of it.
This is such a timely depiction of materialist culture and how it changes our views on the holidays and changing seasons! I love how this poem is blatant about pretending to romanticize something, something we usually don't admit to ourselves :)
This is such a sweet poem full of nostalgia for something that has only just happened (seemingly) but the narrator knows will likely not happen again. It's really well composed :)
I adore the story you have filled in to this short poem. The description of "dew-soft with summer" as the pumpkin is "barely stretching awake" is incredibly life-instilling, and the ending sentence of "it's not even halloween" is such a great ending line. A series of poems like this one, about different food's perspectives, would be wonderful to read!
I love this spooky, visceral take on a pumpkin's perspective! I especially enjoyed the line "to create unnatural beauty where it doesn't belong" - such a thought provoking line about why we carve what we do on our pumpkins.
