Sweet Potato Pie

by LuCretia Crump

My oh My
I cannot deny
Just how much I love me
Some sweet potato pie

Not once
Not twice
But throughout the entire year
Sweet potato pie brings me good cheer

It’s so delicious to every bite
When everyone is asleep
I awake to steal more bites
I can eat a whole pie by myself

Wish mom would keep more on the shelf
It tastes great!
Yummy for my tummy and sweet
The brown sugar and cinnamon keeps me grinning

My oh My
I cannot deny
Just how much I love me
Some sweet potato pie

About the Author

LuCretia Crump is from Chicago, a city she loves. She thinks one of the greatest feelings in life is having people love your literary work as much as you do. Crump is a first time self-published author of poetry, "Once Upon A Life, In Time, In Spirit, In Flesh" (2016), as well as an SNHU online student pursuing her BA in General Studies with a focus in Creative Writing. She absolutely loves writing in many genres, but poetry is her favorite, simply because self-expression is so wonderfully real. She thinks poetry is the song in your heart with a gust of emotions in the language of the written word. When she wrote the poem "Sweet Potato Pie," Crump was actually eating the sweet potato pie she had made. It was so delicious that she wound up writing a song about the pie. Eating is such an awesome experience for her. Sweet potato pie pleased her taste buds as well as inspired her to write a poem about it. Besides, her family enjoys the pie too. Like she always says, "Life is poetry to the human experience!" And her homemade sweet potato pie is an awesome experience.
