Abundance

Fall harvest. Enough for winter storage.
Enough to share with the neighbors.
Enough to donate to the food kitchen.
Pumpkins for soup.
Pumpkins for roasting.
Pumpkins for pie.
Pumpkins ornament houses and yards.
Squirrels, rabbits and raccoons
chew pumpkin decorations
leaving a mess.
Pumpkin residue composted
becomes sustenance for soil and next year’s crops.
In spring a pumpkin vine grows
from the compost pile.
Bees pollinate blossoms and ensure
the possibility of more pumpkins.
So, there will be Enough.
Thanks to Kaitlyn Leann Sanchez and many others for Fall Writing Frenzy 2023
