The Inkwell

from inkdrop – poetry, places and events

As the heat from the oven

moved around the kitchen space

the view of the festive table

was revealed by the fireplace

fine silver and china laid out end to end

side dishes and puddings that didn’t seem to end

awaiting arrival of the festive feast

a turkey or chicken , or a duck or geese

and from outside the doorway

it could be a dream

as you play in the snow

brought by frosty extremes

But upon its delivery, its time to come in

as Dad carves the bird from the oven therein

and veg is a plenty, having come from outside

and roasted with the bird and served up with pride
