This is great. I paint silly smiles, too. I like your 5-7-5 for the contest from the point of view of the sacrificial pumpkins. Best of luck in the judging. Marilyn

I was intrigued by your reflections about Halloween in this 5-7-5. The picture you selected of the picketing pumpkins is choice as is your comment about eating their "guts". Talk about creative! Best wishes in the contest- Joan

Hello mystery writer. The picture you used is very entertaining. Inverse complies very nicely with the 5-7-5 style. I like the way you distanced yourself from the ghouls. You just paint the faces, you don't eat their guts. Good luck in the contest.

Your poem is fun and captures the season in a delightful way. Ghouls eating the insides has two meanings. While we are reminded of the bright smiles made on a pumpkin. Good luck in the contest.

This meets the contest requirements nicely as you deliver a technically sound 5-7-5 with correct line and syllable count on a clearly Halloween theme. The content speaks well of the holiday's well known jack-o-lantern symbol. Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

Dear Mystery Writer,
Well then, there are a trillion 'ghouls' out there, aren't there!? I can't get away from pumpkin-flavored somethings every time I go to a store as soon as it turns September. Drives me CRAZZZEEE!
Fun submission with a great image. Good luck!

This is an excellent entry for the writing prompt. The concept of painted pumpkins is appropriate for the Halloween holiday. Your words are well chosen. I enjoyed reading this.

That makes me a ghoul then. I find cream of pumpkin soup totally delicious, and that is made from the guts of the thing. I am convinced though that most of the ones sold in the supermarkets end up more as objets d'art rather than objets de manger -- food for thought rather than food for survival.

Comment from Alex Rosel
Ha, ha! This is a fun slice of Halloween fantasy {smiles}.
I know poems are renown for their use of "creative" punctuation, but if this was mine, I'd write the initial line as "pumpkin o' pumpkin". This is because I assume that here "o" is a contraction of "oh". However, I realize that's just mt own personal preference {winks}.
Best of luck with this when the voting booth opens {smiles}.
