My potato poem
I watch you,
Your bristle ridden, stubble to the touch smooth skin waiting,
Just seeing you makes my eyes widen,
Tears brim at the touch,
I slowly pick you up carefully but confidently,
Swiftly rendering you without your cloak revealing the body underneath,
My mouth opens in anticipation,
it is time!
In two quick chomps you’re disappeared but I know your not far,
Sadness clouds my eyes as I fall to the ground,
The uncooked potato churns within,
My legs buckle as I realise I didn’t burn you first ,
My last words escape my mouth as my eyes glaze over ,
Potato...
