Carpe Diem #729 growing melons
I visited the overgrown hut of an old man who had gone into seclusion.

vine heavy with fruit
golden orange, streaked with green
anticipating harvest
her curls windblown
arms stretched around pumpkin
autumn glow
tiny hands pull
wagon laden with pumpkins
kissed in autumn hue
