PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In the beginning

remember the delight

and anticipation

those precious early pumpkin ales

that preceded the trend;

preceded the avalanche

     of untimely abomination

that first pumpkin ale

with the allspice

     and the doughy finish

ah, such enchantment

but chasing the dragon

won’t abide;

going to the well—

or the pumpkin patch—

a thousand times too often

indeed the thrill is gone.
