contents We study the average number of representations of an integer $n$ as $n = ϕ(n_{1}) + \dots + ϕ(n_{j})$, for polynomials $ϕ\in \mathbb{Z}[n]$ with $\partialϕ= k\ge 1$, $\operatorname{lead}(ϕ) = 1$, $j \ge k$, where $n_{i}$ is a prime power for each $i \in \{1, \dots, j\}$. We extend the results of Languasco and Zaccagnini (2019), for $k=3$ and $j=4$, and of Cantarini, Gambini and Zaccagnini (2020), where they focused on monomials $ϕ(n) = n^k$, $k\ge 2$ and $j=k, k + 1$.
