Jack-o-lantern
There once was a pumpkin so bright, Its grin shone like a spooky night light. It sat on the porch, With a wicked, wild torch, And scared all the kids with delight!...

Premium Member Lantern of the Shadowed Glade :POTD:
Lantern of the Shadowed Glade In shadowed glades where spirits dwell, Beneath the boughs of an ancient spell. A pumpkin awaits, its fate foretold, By tomes of old and tales untold. Carved with care by children’s hands, A toothy grin upon its face expands. Yet, within those haunting, hollowed eyes, Lies a deeper truth in dark disguise. On Halloween, beneath pewter beams, Wailing winds...

Jesus Jack-o-Lantern sings louder than most I am his mama, and I am here to boast…. His alto voice is as great as anyone’s ever was. He sings better than grandpa, grandma and Cuz. Jesus is my baby, my delight, my happiness, my joy. I am ever so proud of my sweet loving darling baby boy. The women line up from...

Premium Member Elves Steal Witch's Jack O Lantern
Elves steal the witches’ jack-o-lantern with glee. The only one who saw them was William and me. The witch is noticing now, so they are in trouble. I hear her chanting in her cauldron, rubble double bubble. The elves thought they were sly, but they were not quick. The potion is boiling out of the cauldron so green and thick. Run...

Premium Member Jack O Lantern Totem
I saw a jack-o-lantern totem in the field across the street. Three faces smiling at me. Their attitude could not be beat. The top one was the smallest, and gray which was odd. The bottom jack was black. She gave me a sassy nod. The middle jack-o-lantern looked like one I made one day. I watched these merry jacks, and...

The rocker is rocking fiercely and in an angry way. Jack the pumpkin is in the worst mood today. He did not feel respected, and never got his say. The other pumpkins are scared, inching away....

Premium Member Living In a Happy Jack O Lantern
She was living in a happy Jack-o-Lantern because it was fun. The ghosts in the night had left on a humungous five K run. The howling of the wind was dying down, sliding under the sun. Hello! I told the magic makers. I want my hotdog hot on a bun. There are no more buns, the faerie of the...

Premium Member The Jack O Lantern King and I
The jack-o-lantern king invited me to dance. I’m a black cat, I said. I can do a fancy prance. We took the dance floor by storm, the king and I. We were two spinning fools as others stood by. Guests were pointing and laughing in a mean way. I think I shall go he said; I persuaded him to stay. They...

Premium Member Jack O Lantern Thief
He tiptoed on high alert through the night I heard he was coming, and I felt a bit of a fright. He was the jack-0-lantern thief, a monstrous sight. Although creepy, we heard he was not quite right. He evolved from the bowels of dead vines they say. He creeps around stealing pumpkins at night, never in day. We hope that...

Premium Member Frog Jack O Lantern
Charlotte’s pumpkin was not easy For she painted it green from top to bottom. Pant that did not stay on happily. Six coats later, worth the effort and the time. A green pumpkin, her mother observed. Her father’s almost comment was quickly curved. She studied this green thing a week and a day. Finally turning into frog witch, happy and gay....
