THEME IN YELLOW
By Carl Sandburg
I SPOT the hills
With yellow balls in autumn.
I light the prairie cornfields
Orange and tawny gold clusters
And I am called pumpkins.
On the last of October
When dusk is fallen
Children join hands
And circle round me
Singing ghost songs
And love to the harvest moon;
I am a jack-o'-lantern
With terrible teeth
And the children know
I am fooling.
Mainly about
When Halloween rolls around, children join hands around the pumpkin and sing ghost songs. Now the pumpkin had made into a jackolantern with the teeth, but the children know the pumpkin is only playing around and isn't really something to be frightened of.

Carl Sandburg
Carl August Sandburg (January 6, 1878 – July 22, 1967) was an American poet, writer, and editor. His range of interests was enumerated by his close friend, Harry Golden, who, in his study of the poet, called Sandburg "the one American writer who distinguished himself in five fields—poetry, history, biography, fiction, and music."
