Cartoonsday: “Pumpkin spice”

Pumpkin spice

Oh, that pumpkin spice.

Some say, “How nice.”

Some say, “It doesn’t entice.”

In your latte or your cocoa cup,

It’s meant to please, to fill you up.

It’s as though this orange gourd

Was handed down by some manor lord.

But is this what Halloween means?

Lining someone else purse with our green

As we smell it, taste it, baste it,

Living as if we cannot waste it?

Oh, that odorous pumpkin spice,

Coming to offer, to entice.

A little pumpkin can be nice,

But a lot is like having lice.

“Latte-dah”

Latte-dah

Summer is over, so Starbucks declares, /

bringing forth their fall pumpkin wares. /

Temperatures still roiling across the US. /

When they will break is anybody’s guess. /

Hurricanes hit California and other coasts, /

but Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai Latte Starbucks boasts. /

It may be 69 days until Halloween /

but this declaration seems self-serving and a bit obscene.

Holidays

The pumpkin laughs /

at the fat man trying to pass. /

The turkey flew the coop.

O’ chair

Autumn takes a seat. /

Wild pumpkin vine entwining. /

Time, air, rain, and you.

Haiku and photo: “Fall Decline”

Fall Decline

Brickwork and pumpkin:

Shadow, light, crumble, decay.

Dappling toward decline.

Saturday silliness: “Snowpocalypse”

The snowpocalypse has begun. /

We can no longer see the sun. /

To the stores we must run: /

White bread, beer, milk — until done. /

Oh, snow is so fun. /

The snowpocalypse has begun.
