Pattern #48 Autumnal Russet

Gourds

Gourds hold seeds;
birth them when they need
to burst for winter’s
long siesta under snow.

Seeds grow seedlings;
tender shoots in baby green
spring up to sun
look for their mom.

Unfurl fresh leaves
reach out from stem
when summer’s dew
wakes sap in them.

“Til Fall again
grows gourds in russet reds
with seeds that burst
for winter under snow.

Tongue Twister #43 Whoopitydo!

Whoopitydo!

Whoo are you?
You are whoo
Looks at boo
and dew;

Few knew
New view
Woo Hoo!

Tongue Twister #2 Harrumpf!

Harrumpf!
Harangue!
A rump that stang.

It stung
and stank;
It drank
the dank
dew
that stuck
its sticky slime
to mine.

Harrumpf!
