Thanksgiving Gourds

What gourds are these?

That lie in wait

For this Thanksgiving dinner plate

An autumn breeze

That westward tacks

These gourds are coated in thick wax

A tough repast

For hungry souls

Feasting on fine dinner rolls

The October Province

Squashes orange, yellow and green
Fruiting inside our Thanksgiving dreams
The clocks jump forward, or do they jump back?
A festival of sweet caloric attack

A false cornucopia barfing up gourds
A James Bond movie marathon for all the nerds
Prairie utopia, a bountiful feast
Bubbling up from the earth on a bed of black yeast.
