Baked Potato

You're looking hot Deceptive skin I lust to know your Soft within A slice in two Reveals your soul Accompanied With salad bowl I scoop away Your very heart Combine with cheesy joy To start Then pop you back In skin replace Moments before I stuff my face For veggies first That is the rule As rhyme destroys 'Poetic cool' Often prejudged By outer shell By those who know you Less than well And yet, potato Your simple heart Intends to nourish From the start I wake to all That you can be..

Thank you for this beautiful tribute to the potato. Standing alone, or for it's sticky starch, the potato is a great food.

Often overlooked in poetry - it's about time someone righted that wrong :)
