Haiku #15: Peach Cobbler

I'm American

My tan skin fits this landscape

This soil I have plowed




So this was inspired by the idea of American pie (apple pie) which is a tasty, white woman's pie lol. The history behind peach cobbler is so rich, much like the contents of that mouth-watering dessert. I think it should be known that slaves took the rotten fruit given to them by their slave masters and turned it into gold. Mmmmm...I feel like Pavlov's dog right now... But anyway, I was imagining a landscape portrait of the American family. And I fit there. I denied being American soooo long. Called myself a displaced African. But when you think of our contribution-- technology, labor, culture-- when you think of God's plan for us, you can't deny what's yours. And America is yours. It's mine. It's ours.
