"A Pumpkin's Life" is slated for publication in Perspectives Magazine (January 2010).

While any acceptance is enough to make me deliriously happy, this will be my first published poem out of the two dozen poems I have floating around in the slush piles.  The poem was inspired by the Halloween pumpkin that I carved this year.

Updated 2010 January 16 @ 5:30PM: Poem is on page 11 of Perspectives Magazine.
