Untitled Poem by Meg Pokrass

written in 19__, age __

No not mountains or pure blue lakes
What he enjoys are potato pancakes
No care for sunsets and waterfalls
Bring me the borscht and the plum matzoh balls
Who needs the talking, who needs the kisses?
All he wants are potato knishes


Meg's bio here, possibly also a few reflections on writing the poem and its relationship, if any, to her adult work.
