My Poem

Potato Poem

The sporadic spectacle of the spontaneous spud sparkled.

The asexual apparatus augments the soil.

Soon the potatoes will bloom.

The corporeal crop displayed its complexion,

Tan, red, purple, blue, green, and pink.

The stupendous starch was plucked from the earth.

Off on an adventure they say,

Through the USA, through to Canada.

To the bustling bougie boutique.

Selected, constrained, and purchased.

Escorted to the dwelling.

Boiled alive in a bubbling pot of death.

Blup, blurp, pop.

The soft flesh pierced through the heart.

Compressed, squeezed, squashed, pureed.

Set upon the table.

The taste was like an empty canvas

Sopped up by the meat.

Gorged upon, the omnivore was sated.
