Golden Harvest

Missing image
 
 
 
 Golden harvest ripens in the fields
to see the bounty Nature yields
ideal pumpkins made for pies
what a feast for your eyes
scarecrow saves a day
shoos birds away
see them fly
to the
sky
 
sun
flowers
cool showers
Autumn turning
fallen leaves burning
northern chilly wind bites
Halloween and Spooky nights
open eyes and witness the views
everywhere the glow of golden hues

    Very nicely done with the form.
    Many English-speaking societies have much in common, and all sorts of crops and processes have travelled and crossed the seas and hemispheres of the world in the last few hundred years. I am still struck by references to pumpkins and sunflowers in a poem from Britain as these seem so very American. After all, the original Jack O'Lantern had to use a turnip since there were no pumpkins to be had!

    An excellent write and interpretation of the picture prompt. A skillfully crafted mirrored nonet. Good imagery, flow, rhyme and tone. Vivid descriptives. Very good meter. Good word choice and assonance, nice alliteration. Thank you for your entry.

    Holy slices of pumpkin pie
    just two left; one for you
    and one for me, so say I
    and I do; two are too few!

    I am not big on concrete, but this is superbly and completely naturally formed. The bean counts are spot on as is the meter and rhyme, great stuff all round
