I’m known to repurpose anything,
even something up on our roof.
The turbines were coming down.
And, sometimes I can be a goof.
Thought they’d make great pumpkins!
So, I cleaned off all the grime,
brushed on Autumn metallic paints,
until they shined like a new dime.
Fixed a cut limb for the pumpkins stem,
and, old water hose for the curls on top.
I don’t have the knowledge of a farmer,
however, I do have a pumpkin crop.

“Some of these are industrial size turbines found at a salvage
yard after I repurposed the smaller ones from our house a few
years back. I look forward to placing my crop of pumpkins
every year. I hope you enjoyed my poem about them!”
What a great way to find new purpose for things... we need to do that more.
