Hey now. I know at least two guys who fit that description to a Tee. I hope you are not casting aspersions on some people I am fond of. One of whom just happens to be a former Marine I know... wait a minute. Bill is this you? Did you write this? Um.. Never mind.

A very nice presentation and a terrific illustration.
Had I written this, it would read slightly different:
... in its eyes --
now a rotting mouth.

So its eyes are now a mouth? Wait, you're right. As a matter of fact his head is in his mouth. : )

They don't age well. Sort of like me. I remember carving those faces and putting candles in them, only to have them smashed on Halloween night by those who must not have liked the candy I gave them.

Jack-o-lanterns get destroyed no matter if the candy is fair or foul.

I would suppose that this poem is a symbolism of, say, relationship that starts on a beautiful note, but sooner would turn sour in the face of challenges. Thanks, Bill for sharing your well-penned inspiration. Have a lovely day.

Hi Bill,
A wonderful and timely entry for the 20-syllable poetry contest. That poor pumpkin was left out in the rain, methinks. He's water-logged, and now rotting. A victim of Halloween weather. Many times, Halloween nights are windy and rainy. I remember!
I count exactly 20 syllables, Bill.
That poor pumpkin may have lasted a bit longer, but someone lifted his helmet!
Good Luck in the contest!
Cheers,
Kimbob

An excellent entry for the 20 Syllable poem contest. Pumpkins go strong until Halloween and after all the partying they just fall apart! but maybe it's all planned out so that we can have pumpkin pie in a month. good luck in the contest.

Oh, the sad and rotting side of Halloween is om show here. A fun twenty syllables about the after effects of the carved pumpkin lights, though really, the grisly sight is more halloween, isn't it? LOL

Thank you, Valda. Yes, they do not age gracefully.

The exact thing happened to the first pumpkin I bought and decorated in my marriage. I still think the artificial ones look too artificial. I guess, in that sense, our pumpkins look very authentic.

We've filed in our pumpkin stewardship.

Yes, a tremendous fall from grace every year from vivid jack-o-lantern to squirrel mash. A little inter-generational lesson for us all.
Good luck in the 20-syllable poem! Co

I can't help but think of someone who has a figurative rotting mouth which spews all kinds of lies to mislead people. Woe to them who actually believe him. Best wishes in the contest!
