When I first read the title of "Sweet Poetess" I saw "Sweet Potatoes." So I had to, was compelled to write a poem about them. Forgive me?

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes,
treat potatoes,
with brown sugar
in a pie.

Layered up
with sweet pecans,
in tiers
up to the sky.

Toss in a pineapple
chunk,
or maybe dunk
in two.

A wonderful treat
for baby, me and you!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Yeppers, there really are no mistakes in life. Everything happens for a reason! ~ and in this case, a delightfully delicious poem was created from a misread!

Thank you for this yummy-in-the-tummy write!

Hugs to you, Dear Sweet Potatoes Poetess!

Glad you misread! It reminded me of my sweet potato casserole that we have on holidays (that's a good remind because being a lousy cook, it's the only thing of mine that is good and has made the list of tradition.) Although it's a casserole, it could pass for pecan pie! Thanks for the fun.

LOL...Yes she did, and come to think of it I passed by a sweet potato pie in the store last night when shopping...
