Plate Of Corn
by David Pekrul
copyright 04-19-2007


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
The pomegranate is a fruit,
Potatoes are a tuber root,
The turnip is a vegetable,
But it would make a lousy soup.

And brussel sprouts are things of scorn,
I’ve hated them since I was born,
And spinach turns into a mush,
And leaves me feeling so forlorn.

The only thing I like is corn,
Both bowls and plates it does adorn,
It’s beauty shows when butter melts,
And when I eat, I feel reborn.

I love the sweetness of the cob,
The butter drips; I’m such a slob,
My hands are greasy; that’s okay,
I really love this messy job.

As niblets or as corn now creamed,
As canned or fresh, they’re both a dream,
I paint a picture in my mind,
Of waterfalls of corn, supreme.

If that were all there was to eat,
I think it would be quite complete,
And though I have both meat and bread,
A plate of corn is hard to beat.

Hello;
What a great write...the rhyme adds to the work and at the end I had a grin on my face. Very well put together. Poetry doesn't have to be serious all the time and this shows that fact well. But, I do have a sudden craving for.....
Write well

I love the playfulness in this poem...and the deliberateness of the rhymed lines...its great how you build up to your 'obvious' love of corn...its nice just to read something that's not so serious...
