like all things pumpkin.
-A very good closing line.

and I like pumpkin in pies and cookies,
as well as ice cream.

    Hi Pam. I've never heard of pumpkin ice cream. I'm sure it's good.
    Thanks so very much for reviewing!

    Pumpkin ice cream is very good. I don't know where you're from, but Edie's usually makes it. It's usually just out in the fall.

One for my daughter and granddaughter for sure. I stopped and let her go in to McDonald's to get lunch before going to her appointment...lunch was the iced drink. Since when did coffee become food?

    Hi Carol. Thanks so very much for reviewing. I love my McDonald's Iced Mocha Frappe. That's my obsession.

At least it's actually Fall now. It irks me when the pumpkin spice stuff begins in early September...kind of like when the Christmas decorations come out in middle September!! Really, no one believes in delayed gratification anymore!!

Anyway, very cute haiku, and I hope it serves you well at the polls! xo

Aw, what do you have against pumpkin spice? Great flavor for coffee creamer, ice cream, etc. I could enjoy anything pumpkin all year long. I love when Olive Garden has its pumpkin cheesecake. Great alliteration in tis, and enjoyable to read. Best of luck in the contest. judi

I'm Australian, so I'm not so much a pumpkin spice freak! This poem was fun. It flows nicely and shows your sense of humor. I look forward to reading more of your poems.

Oh my, Mystery Poet, you picked one of my guilty pleasures!! How I love me some Pumpkin Spice, just about anything. But, coffee, even more so.
This was an attractive and delightful poem heralding in the season and appealing to a broad audience.

Great job,
Best of luck in the contest,
Rhonda

AHHH yes the refreshing coolness of fall. Pumpkin spice anything. A well composed 5-7-5 and good syllable count. Good graphics to enhance your well composed haiku.

A fun "Fall" poem for the 5/7/5 writing prompt. I love pumpkin so I guess I'm one of those deranged pumpkin spice freaks. Haha

Nicely done with good use of alliteration as well.
Blessings
Janet

    Hi Janet.
    Thanks so very much for reviewing! I happen to not like pumpkin spice but those that do seem a bit obsessive.
    Thanks again!
