Pumpkin on the Porch

Hello NLGA Dog Blog Readers!

Halloween is just a little over two weeks away! Have your hounds come across any jack-o-lanterns yet? This week's poem is all about pumpkins from the perspective of a Greyt!






Pumpkin on the Porch
By Katie Gilstrap

I see a pumpkin on the porch
And much to my surprise,
It looks as though it has a mouth
And two big, spooky eyes!

Cautiously, I sniff the gourd.
I study every groove.
I wait for a reaction,
But the pumpkin doesn't move.

Is this thing a creature,
Or is this some kind of joke?
Why won't it respond to me
When I give it a poke?

Maybe it is sleeping.
After all, it's getting dark!
I want it to awaken, so I'll
BARK AND BARK AND BARK!
