Fat Potatoes from Antigo

Fat Potatoes from Antigo

A Poem by Mike Michaels

They grew them big last year
Prior seasons sent us small packets
Once pine barrens now sandy soil
Pulled out of the loam to fill - bellies
Stored within white and damp
Pare  the peels spiral, fall
Thoughts of those close wander in
Out. Should call him or her.
Wasn't that something. Breathless
Boiling in salted water, starch
