Resurrection - a poem for Freewrite # 148 - potatoes
Greetings fellow Steemians! Here is my 15th "5" minute freewrite. The prompt is: "potatoes"
For this entry I took a break from The Strangeling, my ongoing sci-fi series using the freewrite prompts, mostly because I couldn't find a way to work "potatoes" into the next scene in the story XD
Freewriting is a daily practice for most poets and fiction writers, designed to loosen up and get things flowing, like stretching before exercise. Visual artists, especially those who draw or paint from life (figures, landscapes, still lives, etc) do something similar in "gesture drawings". After reading several of @poetrybyjeremy's freewrite posts, I got excited to try these again. Many thanks to @mariannewest for hosting this daily freewrite! https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-148-5-minute-freewrite-friday-prompt-potatoes

Resurrection
Cut out the eyes
And bury them deep
In the dark
Cool
Grainy soil
Keep these secrets
Safe enough to sprout
Stems and leaves
Pushing up
Up
Up into the light
Starlight
Moonlight
The blinding sun
Flickering halogens
Flashlights
Flowering
Bearing fruit
That ripens
And opens
Each new eye
Seeking new secrets
To take to the grave.

Very brave to write a poem about potatoes. And a deep one, too. Well done. I had one of those photographs done for each eye the last time I had an eye exam.
