Ah! I love this. First I was, like, is this poem in the right category? Lol. Then I kept reading and it's just incredible. I have never carved a pumpkin myself, but this makes me want to. =P

I think this year may be the year, lol. Especially after reading this =P

Natasha. This visual alone makes it nomination worthy, I wish people would notice this piece more. Doing it in the view point of a pumpkin first off is unique and creative and second off does a great job with the recent times as it is almost Halloween or all hallows eve heh. I loved the details you used as they are spot on, and they bring the pumpkin to life honestly. The feelings you give here make the pumpkin almost afraid of Halloween and almost know what is going to happen, as the cutting of it's inside takes place. But know that with it, it does become more alive with the glow of the candle and a new face. As I said this poem's attention to detail is outstanding and each stanza is it's own image and story and emotion. Beautiful work hon. 5/5

This really is incredible!

Firstly, to combine your old titles in a piece like this I was not expecting! Although - I should have known better than to think you would write of something different with it being so close to YOUR season lol!

I love the angle of this, it was a bit like the view of your shadow challenge, only you have done so with the view of the pumpkin. Really good idea!

I also like how you have personified the pumpkin, yet shown us that there is really nothing inside of him, no heart or blood or organs coming out!

The ending was a great twist, it is the transition of the mess made in the beginning, but only to be turned into something different, and more beautiful.

Very nice work, and I love the picture visual!

Love this work!
