sat in a row
on a pumpkin vine
they grow and grow.
The first little pumpkin
grew so small.
The second little pumpkin
grew very tall.
The third little pumpkin
grew squat and flat.
The fourth little pumpkin
grew round and fat.
grew round and fat.
The fifth little pumpkin
grew and grew.
It grew so BIG
we didn't know
what to do.
We used a tractor
to move the thing.
Started carving and
didn't finish until spring. This is a counting poem for Halloween. I bet you know another Halloween counting poem, or you can write one of your own. There are bats and toads, cats, owls and witches you could count, up or down. Don't forget candy, apples, monsters, ghosts, warts or scars for other possibilities. Have fun writing your poem. Please share your creation with me.
