Legend of the Brown Knight

Poem

(Another attempt at minimalism but with comedy. I got inspiration while cooking potatoes earlier today).

Strength personified.
Stalwart defender
Against wind
And rot.
Little brown knight
With fire
In his heart.

He stands
Steadfast
Holding,
At bay,
Time and mold.
His skin
Golden steel,
Too dense.
Too stubborn.
For plague to take hold.

He is
Invincible.
Unyielding.

A mountain beneath a storm.

Never has there been
a warrior,
Such as him,
Ever born.

He is…

Potato.
