Pumpkin Cinderella

Folder: 
Flowers Sunspun

This year an 1100 pound pumpkin

broke previous records..

... perhaps she is

sad to be trapped

in such a big pumpkin

shell

.. where her growers

have 'kept her very well'

but her size has so

blessed others

.. and soon Cinderella

will

burst out of

her private hell.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A 947 lb. pumpkin
had been grown by
a Smithville Ohio
Carnegie student 2 years
ago.
God's fruit yields
450,000 or more lbs.
per acre.

not meant as an endorsement
of male oriented fairy
tales but as an
affirmation of the
infinite love within
and around all beings

Well, Well you have done it again...
"Peter, Peter, Pumkin eater..." finds
no place of bondage here for his unfaithful
wife. Not in a pumkin, or the medevil chasity
belt or here in this poem, where the "She"
called "Wife" is liberated.

Keep your pen quick - Keep liberating closed minds
with these quick verses. -ernest
