 A pumpkin fiend is a gourd-like squash creature from the land of Cucurbita.

They have a thick frame on the outside and hold seeds within a mushy inside.

Halloween, Halloween..

"Sixteen times I heard the sinister  laugh!

Just Smile!

"Tis Halloween! Ohh Halloween!"

The moon is full and bright

And we shall treat what can't be tricked

Tis one and only night.

HALLOWEEN

c.1745, Scottish shortening of Allhallow-even "Eve of All Saints, last night of the month of October" (1556 1/2), the last concluding night of the year in the antiquated Celtic calendar, where it was
Old Year's Night, a night for sorcerers.

Mine eye hath play'd the painter and hath stell'd
Thy beauty's form in table of my heart;
My body is the frame wherein 'tis held,
And perspective it is the painter's art. ~William Shakespear

Granted, I'll do anything for a good donut.

If you're holding out for universal popularity,

I'm afraid you will be in this cabin for a very long time.

...Unknown spears,

Suddenly hurtle before my dream-awakened eyes,

And then the clash of fallen horsemen and the cries.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

Ha!

At the crystal moon, at the red branch

of the slow autumn at my window

~Pablo Neruda

Steel Pumpkin grin

Nor gates of steel so strong but Time decays?

Shine!

And he opened the coffins, and let them all free:

Thendown a green plain, leaping, laughing, they run,

And wash in a river, and shine in the sun.

~William Blake (1757-1827)
