The Pumpkin I'm Saving For Me *


 Oh, out in the garden
Four pumpkins I found;
They were bright orange pumpkins
That lay on the ground.
 

 I gave away three,
But now as you see,
The pumpkin that’s left
I am saving for me.


 I’ll carve out a mouth,
And a nose and two eyes.
And when you come to visit
You’ll have a surprise;

Jack o'lantern by Christopher Blake, A bohemian bazaar

Perched high on the wall,
(I hope it won’t fall!)
You’ll see that my pumpkin’s
The best one of all.



(* La zucca che ho tenuto per me. Fuori in giardino quattro zucche ho trovato/erano luminose zucche arancioni/che giacevano al suolo./Ne ho date via tre/ma adesso, come vedi/ quella rimasta/ la tengo per me./Intaglierò una bocca/ un naso e due occhi./E quando verrai a trovarmi/avrai una sorpresa:/arrocata in alto sul muro/(speriamo che non cada!)/vedrai che la mia zucca è/la migliore di tutte.)
   

Happy Halloween to all my friend in the world

  10. Hello Flora! Your little bit of verse was very well said! Your Jack o' Lantern is really charming and I love the removable lid and the circle eyes! He is not scary but friendly looking, no wonder you are saving it for yourself!:D
