Powerful, fiery
and dramatic,
the red planet
is a devil
of a place
to grow potatoes.
Mind you,
they always
take root
in my kitchen cupboard…
Kim M. Russell, 2017
My response to Sue Vincent’s Thursday photo prompt – Deep #writephoto
This poem was inspired by an article I read on Science Alert – I was just waiting for the right prompt to come along to write it.

Good job, Kim! It made me think of The Martian movie. 🙂

Thanks, Sue. I had the title in my folder of words and phrases to use and it just seemed to fit the image – the poem followed!
