The Amazing Pumpkin Carve 2019, part 1

Earlier this month, the Hopewell Valley Arts Council ran its 5th-annual Amazing Pumpkin Carve, a local fall festival in Central New Jersey featuring 40 massive pumpkins imaginatively sculpted and lit. These pumpkins truly looked amazing, by day . . .

New this year, the event also included a little poetry — or, to be precise, a lot of little poems. Dotting the fairgrounds on yard signs, ten of my haiku and senryu were on display for the enjoyment of visitors.

Here are the signs, without their stands. (Pumpkin-colored cat not included.)

Poem signs . . . and a cat!

If you’d like to see how the signs looked on site, please check out The Amazing Pumpkin Carve 2019, part 2.  ;- )
