The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Suspense

“Is it true, it’s Halloween?”
the pumpkin asked, distraught.
I told him days yet in between,
to ease his fears I thought.

He shook with wild despair
(my theory quite rebutted)
and said he could not bear
to wait till day he’s gutted.



Line count: 8
Rhymed abab
For Express It In Eight, 10.24.25
Prompt: Write a conversation between you and a Jack-o-lantern.
