Why I chose this to review: I like reviewing your work. You always end up surprising me with how something comes out in your writing.

How I feel about this work: After reading this, I get the feeling that a little boy is trying to "help" his momma get the pumpkin ready for a Halloween party.

I'm wondering about: the process you went through, and how you came up with this poem. There is a lot of parenthetical expression in your writing of this poem. I have to smile at the long-suffering mom who makes the pumpkin into a work of art for her little boy, only if for just a day (or night) of revelry.

Suggestions: I have no suggestions for your work. As always, well thought out and executed. I like the way that you show all of the hard work done as being neglected like a half eaten bowl of candy...ignored until a craving strikes...LOL. The thankless work of a mom . Not needed until you are needed.

Overall, I love reading your work. You paint a vivid scene with your writing. It was easy to follow, and a scene that is played out year after year for children.

Thank you for sharing your work.

sincerely,

amyjo
