Pumpkin Fever

An entry for the Writer's Cramp Contest.

October chills have filled the air
The scent of pumpkin is everywhere
Spiced lattes warm the coldest hearts
Making tingling happen in all their parts.

Pumpkin pies do fill the shelves
For those who cannot bake themselves
Cans of pumpkin and glorious spices
Fill the homes of those who can use the devises.

New recipes enfold
Some people can be quite bold
Discovering new ways to mix
And other delicacies they do fix.

Smiling faces greet them all
Bring out the treasures and sample fall
Pancakes, soups, stews and crackers
It’s all about to drive us bonkers.
