Sweet potatoes, special cuts,
 Grandma's spices, nuts,
Raisins cooked in every bite.
Flaky crust baked light,
Cool whip heaped up high.

The purple sweet potato 




All hail the royal 
Sweet potato in my red
Supermarket cart
Wrapped with foil and baked to
Its coarse, velvety goodness

Turkey, stuffing and gravy
           Sweet potato pie
     Biscuits with melted butter
          Cranberry surprise
        Luscious pumpkin pie
            Is there room
                  Aye!...

TORNADO
Sometimes life is just a volcano of tornado
Everything comes and about to go
Can you compare anything to the sweet potato
Do they think they like rotten tomato

Megan Makin;
Bacon!
She lives in Macon,
Georgia;
She baked sweet potato pies and cobblers;
She has a boy whose a toddler;
He no longer crawls he just woddles;

I can smell
The scented leaves
It reminds me of
A sweet potato pie
Baking in the oven
The rich smell of vanilla
Cinnamon and nutmeg
Floating through the air
Giving you the feeling
Of warmth and love

Grandma was the best at baking pies. 
That was a fact nobody denies. 
Apple, rhubarb, sweet potato, cherry, 
pumpkin, pecan, and don't forget blueberry. 
In the kitchen, grandma could be found. 
Her fresh-baked pies were the best around.

inspired by another member's poem...

Collards cornbread piled
On pretty plastic plate
Red eye grits with cheese for taste
Nice slice of sweet potato cake
Black eyed peas good to me
Really did pass on the pigs feet
Entire brown biscuit with molasses 
All soul food fed the masses
Dig in enjoy with tea in glasses...

Collards and green beans
Real cranberry sauce
Take home plates
Yum!

Sweet potato pie
Custards in aluminum
Moist coconut cake
Pound cake with icing
Extra plates
Sweet!...

The smell of my mother
It’s the Coco Chanel fragrance she wears every day
It’s the scent of her make up
It’s the aroma of coffee and spearmint candy
My grandmother smells of sugar and roses
Of thank giving dinner and sweet potato pie
Of chocolate and perfume
Of spice and chamomile tea...

Sweet potatoes boiled and mashed
Mixed with beaten eggs
Butter, salt and cinnamon
Whipped, spooned into pan
Pecans on top, bake
Fluffy smooth
Yum!

Let me be a part 
of your equation.

Your only destination.

The one your embracing 
in that picture frame.

The light that shines
your everyday.

A bit closer than 
a breeze.

The gentle touch
of a babies skin.

Your sweet potato 
pie.

You're the apple of 
my eyes.

My beginning starts 
a new, the day I fell
in love with you.

M•ostly sugar with some cinnamon and everything nice
O•utstandingly created with sprinkles of salt and pepper too with cajun spice
T•he makings of this beautiful creation by the most high
H•er sweet soul essence is aptly displayed in her twice- 
     baked sweet potato pie
E•arthy, airy, fiery, and watery is how she's furled
R•egally and divinely made, she is a gift to this world...

Lord abhiseyka 

My lady do you know when I colse 
My door of heart I am suffering from obsessed feeling love 
of desert at least there I can't make 
A pot of water to keep my throat 
 Wet with your kiss of cold 
Rhymes 
Sweet potato pie cake 
Stomach can't be wait 
Spoon share with friends 
Happy birthday to all kids 

Lord abhiseyka 
Absence of pain 



With love all

I've heard him sing: The Mulatto:
By fat hotter than Roberto
Like Pepper is to Pimento;
Lost to him, too, one Alberto:
The boy friend of Fine Talatu...

Alto in all shows he goes to,
Even when beats are Staccato
Or long remains The Legato...

Yes, A very Good Contralto, 
Overly fond if Sweet Potato
He would eat with Mashed Tomato...

Harsh words for Irish Potato;
Yet harsh Teeth of Alligator:
In anger bites in their ghetto!...

Huh, huh, huh
gone cook
some
good o'l 
soul food 
in
my kitchen,

like
collard greens,
corn bread 
and
sweet potato
yams - 

Gone
add some
deep fried
pork chops,

with a
casserole 
full
 of
mac & cheese -

And
white rice,
with gravy
and
black eye peas -

Huh, huh, huh
gone cook
some
good o'l
soul food
