A pumpkin is a seed.
A plain little seed with a secret inside,
A pocket, a pip with a new life to hide.
To hide and to hold
As springtime unfolds,
A pumpkin begins as a seed.
A pumpkin is a sprout.
A curious sprout with one leaf and then two,
A budding, a nudging, a slow peekaboo.
Happy for rain
And sunshine again,
A pumpkin pops out as a sprout.
