Here's today's PCrew Pick! Today we're picking something up from the garden... that's right! I wanted to highlight one of @Snoink's lovely poems from her thread Harvest Songs.

Everyone should take a look at To Live and Die (and Live!) as a Potato it goes much deeper than simply a poem about potatoes but unpacks a metaphor about life and faith. The opening lines are excellent:

To grow potatoes is an act of faith
for you never see the fruit of the plant
until everything dies.

Hope you take the time to read Snoink's delightful poem as well as the other poetry over in the NaPo Week Forum - there's lots of good stuff to read and contemplate!
