I really like this well written poem that brings the personality of a pumpkin to life. Clever idea that is well expressed in this unique style. Thanks for sharing your creativity. Bill

excellent job. Very fun piece and nice art.
It was interesting the animals that visited were female. Many poets would have said "it" instead of "her."
The rhyme was pretty good but the line that ended with glow stuck out because of the different cadence. I would have liked you to work on that a bit more.
Keep up the great work.--Cynthia

What I like about this:
The expression on the pumpkin begs a poem. (I wish I knew what the pumpkin would say if he had a voice!);
you tell the reader that although he looks fierce, the pumpkin likes having creature friends around; you humanize the pumpkin as he sighs and chuckles and his heart is aflutter:)
Since the picture is "large and in charge," you might make the font a bit bigger, for proportion.
This is a great, memorable poem with great rhyme!
Tina

Awesome choice of background colour for your poem and great colour choice for font as well. Love the Halloween photo as well.

Ha, Ha, Ha cute little poem and so Halloweenish:) Love this stanza:"e welcomes the friendship of a curious crow
his heart aflutter, this new friend makes him glow

the moon chuckles at the round orange sight
friends transform this lonely character's night

" Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

mermaids,

How adorable! This poem should have been entered into the Happy poems contest. I love how the situation the pumpkin finds himself in gradually changes his attitude. Sweet! Thanks!

This was a fun read. Your illustration, of course, pairs perfectly and sets the stage for your words. He is just the perfect pumpkin for this well written poem.

I enjoyed your poem, Mermaids, from the POV of this pumpkin. Your rhyming couplets read well to tell this cute story. I'm glad the pumpkin seemed in a better mood after being visited by his friends. The art choice is perfect for your well though out words.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
