Mangelwurzel (sonnet added w/ edit)
#1
"We can't make Jack-O-Lanterns without pumpkins."
While I thought to suggest squash like acorn
I carelessly hit search instead of copy.
Wiki informs me that I could adorn
turnips, mangelwurzel or beets
like the Irish long ago.
Just saying mangelwurzel
sets hearts and minds aglow.

~~~~~~

just saying mangelwurzel
brings visions of Robbins' Jitterbug Perfume
men and gods bandaloop through the centuries
jasmine hangs heavy in the air
and after death one's heart is placed
on a scale with a feather the balance.
