For one Glorious Harvest Moon Night.
Your orange armor protected a flickering light.
Sadly, your sinister grin was soon forgot,
You were left alone to sag and rot.
Your top caved in, your innerds scorched,
You turned to mush, and fell off the porch!!
But Mother Nature has a way...
Of reassuring a pumpkins stay!!
Yes thats right Ladies and Gentlemen, It's not quite the Eggplant that ate Chicago, but it's a pleasant and welcome addition to the household.
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55.
Please come tell The G-Man.
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment....Then BOOK!!!
So from the most gracious host from coast to coast...
Have A Kick-Ass Week-End!!!!!
Peace...!!!

This 55 rules the night, G-Man! Who doesn't love a good Jack-o-lantern?
I'm probably not playing this week, because I'm working like crazy to keep on schedule with my book. But I did write a blog entry that I'm pretty pleased with.
Dragons like pumpkins but not to look at.
Cute 55
Ours is up
HERE.
Well, since the pumpkin showed up unexpectedly and made you smile, I think you should carve a smile on the Jack-o-Lantern's face this year. I love a whimsical 55.;)
Hey, I love this 55. You tell it "just like it is"!!!
Mine is up.

Love it. I posted my very first Flash 55. Lot's of fun!jeNN
Hey, I bet you beat Walmart this year with the Jack-O-Lantern (what do I know, I never go there!).
I put up two today. I want to be a "happy" martyr.
Pumpkins already? It's only August.
My 55 will be up at midnight Pacific time. ;-)
Nicely done G. Thanks for the promts...LMAO! I hope you will stop by as I managed to use them all in my 55.
Loved your Jack-o-lantern poem. They do indeed turn to mush, don't they?
Find my Flash 55 for this week HERE.
I skipped last week while I was at a Twain conference. You can find posts about my wonderful weekend HERE and HERE.
Very funny 55!!
Mine's HERE
Carved eggplant this Halloween? Sounds pretty scary to me! Mine was really tough to do this week. God bless you!
Lol, great 55 G-man! :-)
G-Man,
I just started blogging several days ago and ran across this Flash 55 thing. I found it inspiring, fun and challenging. I thought I would try my hand at it.
Yours is fun, creative and I enjoyed reading the others that have been posted so far.
Please read mine (I did 2, just in case).
[cool - that was just 55 words too]!
My Jack O Lanterns always end up like that.
My 55 is here.
loved the 55, g. i truly hope you can comment on my 55 this time. btw, sure hope you're not using i.e. either lol anyways, i'm up.
unlike the dragons, i'd rather look than eat pumpkins.
p.s. you should really let me set up a mcklinky for you. mr. linky is a pain these days, but it would help all that play 55 to visit everyone a little easier. let me know what you think (just email me)
Loved the poem. It combined two of my favourite subjects - the mysterious and the environment.
You'll find mine here.
What a great 55 and the picture was great as well. But pumpkins in August? LOL. Excellent. Mine's up HERE. Have a great Friday.
Ah that the plant that's taking over your house! LOL
I love this 55 G-man - it tells of demise and rebirth. :)
I'm just on my way out for the day but couldn't resist popping by to see you before I leave. x
Mine's up.
Aww..such a fall from glory.
Mine is up. Can't get the linksy to work but you can paste it

Great 55, G-Man
Mine is UP now as well.
Thanks everyone for reading me :)
That is a cool 55! We don't celebrate Halloween as a national event...some people go Trick or Treating. It is becoming more popular but it's not my kind of thing, as you said Galen, I'm a romantic. Ghosts and Goulies don't appeal. :))
Have a great weekend...
my 55
It's when they turn all mushy like that, that they make the best mess when thrown in a pumpkin fight. Ah sweet youth where have ye departed too?
Nice of you to ponder the thoughts of a pumpkin! I never realized how "forgotten" they really are after that great night of fame!
I posted my first attempt at this Friday Flash 55~not sure how to link you to it though..

Congratulations on your new 'baby'! I loved the rhyme.
For two years I've blogged daily, updating at least ONE blog every day... this week I failed all my blogs completely! If it weren't for you I never would have sat up in bed at 2am this morning shouting GOOD GOD! FRIDAY! 55! BLOG! ... and then fell asleep again. When my husband told me about it in the morning, I wrote this.
ROFL
Hi Everybody...
I'm at work today, and I am able to read some 55's. But we are still busy so please be patient with me. I'll get to everyones sometime today....G
PS...It's NOT an eggplant, it's a pumpkin!!
That was just a metaphor!!
It's a Wild Pumpkin!!!
Hi, Galen: I'm still in Florida and can't get to a computer easily. BUT, I managed to get my Friday 55 posted! Just missing out on visiting everybody. Ah, well.
I enjoyed the pumpkin. Reminds me of Humpty Dumpty! D
that was a fun one. made me grin like the jack o lantern. sorry i am so late getting here. my connection has been very spotty today but i am up.
i really enjoyed your 55 Mr. G-Man. no pumpkins or eggplants in my sphere, but i do have a 55 that's up.
smiles,
True and well, done!
I had two pumpkins in my little garden this year! Pumpkins make me smile!
I tried the 55 again; you'll find it here...

Happy weekend! :)
Hey G-Man
I came to your site through another persons blog. I love the pumpkin 55, it was inspiring. (not to sound like a brown nose) ;)
But this is indeed My first 55. And I don't want you be gentle. I'm the type of girl who likes it rough.
Qjd
This is so cool!
We used to get volunteer tomatoes and squash from seeds that washed out of the pig pen. Always well fertilized, of course.
Hi Folks...
I left off with Dr, John...
I'll finish them all in the AM..
G'Nite....Galen

Anyway, adding mine makes it 49... and all it says is: I'm up.
-smarmoofus.
Hey there G,
I really like your 55 mine is not up yet but will work on it this weekend. Wanted to thank everyone for the comments that were made on mine from last week I don't think I got to look at many due to my son being ill and in the hospital. TGIF to all and have a fabulous weekend.
Huggs mate!
Galen, this may be one of my most favorite 55's you ever wrote. It's so cute--just like you. :)
I really need to get back on the 55 wagon someday.
--snow
