no poem
to describe
fall colors
wedged in the back seat
the three poets pass around
the paper and pen
almost more children
than potatoes
fifty pounds of them
scrubbing potatoes
on a cool fall afternoon
friends inside cooking
Potato days topped
off by voluminous
toppings on potatoes
after the rainstorm
i doze off waiting
for the rainbow
eating lots of
potato chips to prepare ourselves
for the spudfest
my legs on jonathan's
my hips on patrick's
sitting in the middle
chopping and cooking
the quest for the golden spud
motivates us all
once in a while a
wisp of orange amidst the
yellow and green trees
sixty pounds o' luv
spud luv, once covered in mud
graces the table
dirty brown tuber
transformed into a lovely
spud with a topping
while i eat my spud
i give thanks that it isn't
made out of tofu
