Pumpkin Fields by Tammy Mouré
Fall winds accosted the country
Under the big bright moon
Coloring with orange unbecoming
Knitting with words jarring
Tales barren of veracity and grace
Reaping whirlwinds of doubt
Until dishonor reigned with hate
Much to America’s
Pumpkin fields’ distaste.
These Iced Pumpkin Muffins are the perfect accompaniment to your morning coffee. They are slightly sweet with a dense crumb and full of pumpkin and spices. I hope you give them a try and make your fall mornings sweet.

I love how these are mounded so high! My muffins always look kind of flat, Lol. I never think about using pumpkin in muffins, but these sound so good, with the sour cream and glaze. They’d be great with coffee and poetry!
