Love roadside pumpkins!

Add ferris wheels and it is really a good creepy halloween type haiku. ;-)

I wondered if you could switch the lines around?

What I also like about this haiku is that 'grey' works so well here because the pumpkins will be orange, and the ferris wheel conjures up bright colours of the fairground.
