Pumpkin man (a Villanelle)
He is the pumpkin man
carving out teeth and eyes,
doing all he possibly can
to be ready for Sanhain,
a time of spirits and sighs.
He pours the leftovers in a pan,
a buzzy orange mix. Dan
is his name. With a disguise,
the heads look almost human.
These pumpkins, how they sang
aloud without any cares.
They were his number one fan.
At midnight away they all ran
while Dan baked pumpkin pies,
gingerbread and pecan flan.
He is the pumpkin man,
carving out teeth and eyes,
doing all he possibly can
to be ready for Sanhain.
