LOL! Congratulations on your win in the 5-7-5 writing prompt competition. I love your poem. While I do love fall and all things belonging to it, I can take or leave the pumpkin spice everything. But there definitely are some obsessive people out there. Great job!

You mentioned my name? lol I've been obsessing for weeks already and having a grand old time with it too. Something about the change of seasons just makes the craving happen. Thanks for sharing.

    That's great Marilyn. I'm glad you enjoy it. Thanks so much for reviewing! I'm not a fan of pumpkin spice myself but this year I will try a pumpkin pie.

I am drinking a mocha frappe right now! I liked your poem, and you got the syllable count right for the writing prompt. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Oh I sense a little bah humbug for autumn lol! I like this quirky little fun haiku, nicely done. Those pumpkin spice lattes are also quite delish ha!
Best wishes

    Thanks so very much Nicki! Not so much bad humbug just people overdoing things as usual. I like my daily iced mocha frappe' from McDonald's so I'm not very much better.
    Thanks for the good luck wishes too!

How can people drink pumpkin juice, but then we do have pumpkin soup in great quantities, and it's a very popular addition to the dinner table, this is beautifully written, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

I've had pumpkin-flavored coffee, beer, and wine and can't stand any of it. Pumpkin, and its spice, belong in pies, muffins, and other baked goods. (I'm feeling free to obsess.)

This presentation looks like Fall, and I know people who believe the season begins when they can get pumpkin spice everything at McDonald's.

Great job - good luck!

I put cinnamon and nutmeg in my morning coffee so what do I know? I think though that it is absurd that big retailers put up Halloween decorations in July! feel a poetic rant coming up.

Are you talking about me? Back in the day when I drank beer, my very last mug, twelve years ago, was in October when I had my favorite...pumpkin ale. Now, it's pumpkin coffee every day. Your contest entry is in very good taste. Best wishes in the contest.

This is a very cute poem. Some people go crazy over pumpkin spice. I like the pumpkin smell candles. I like the way you did the poem with orange. Good luck in the contest.

The only good thing about pumpkin spice, and all things pumpkin, is that since so many people feel compelled to buy pumpkin pies, sweet potato pies and buttermilk pies are more often left on the shelf and subsequently marked down sufficiently that I can afford the delectable treats!
Nice poem. Good work.
