The Inkwell#Socs #Fridge
The seal popped
The jar opened
The flavours released
sweetened fruit held in suspension
spread over hot buttered toast
sensations – smell sight and taste – heightened
Warm strawberry tastes
Wild , sweet and welcoming
Tasted with every bite
The rest of the flavours – locked in the jar
kept in a place with the polar bears
for tomorrows crumpet feast
Perpetually found in a christmas pudding
luscious fruit sweet, with a stone in the middle
usually found in a jar in a jam or
made into a sauce and served with Dim Sum

Maybe its the
illuminating colours i
like about them, but i
keep returning to the coffee shop
slurping them down and
having a marvellous time
allying icecream, banana, and the freshest milk
kept cold in an ice cold frosty refridgerator
enjoyable on any seasonal day

You’ve been stood by the cafe counter
for over ten minutes
the teapot you ordered will have to be rewarmed
as you ponder over your latest quandry
Lemon, Raspberry, Blueberry or Vanilla ?
don’t hang about – have all four!!!

Someone should really have told you
how zingy that pudding really is
every day you headed for the ice cream cart
rounding on this raspberry combo
but your face – after the initial taste of the raspberries
engaged into full on scrunch mode as your
tongue took on the individual taste
Just look at it
a taste sensation
zesty and fruity fruit
zipped up in a sweet pastry pillow
best eaten after tea – but can be
eaten, scoffed or wolfed down at any time of day
rich red fruit at its centre
really nice with a warm cup of tea
yet you can also have it for a dessert!
#metaphor
a piece wrote as a response to a photo….gave it a little character.
Down a vast array of items
in the great festive sale
sits a lowly tin of peaches
bashed from the morning jostle
its label a little worn
it sits on the shelf – alone
this tin was never – ever
going to win the contest
for most delightful
its fellow tins were taken
some hours ago
in the rush before closing
and there’s no one to see
but the Frosty sour cream
in the Fridge in Aisle C
Moments tin wishes
he was back in the plant
opportunities here – scant
So the tin waits
for morning to come
and awaits delivery mans hum
#CYW #Peach
Picked from the trees in the hills of Asia
each fruit furry to the touch
and juicy with every bite – just watch out for the stone in the middle
can be eaten on its own, or with custard or cream
hot out of the oven – its wonderful in a pie or a flan
#CYW #Outerspace
ever wandered why the aliens keep on landing on earth ?
seems there’s something special here you just cant get
tween Jupiter and Saturn on their burger buns
space dust from the crab nebula and
particles of planet dust doesn’t quite match
the taste you get from the special sauce on a terran burger
or a “fillet of fish”
maybe that’s why they keep making so many return visits!
#SocS #Bythehundreds #Sweet
Held in a container and kept
Up on the same shelf as the glace cherries
Numerous sweet strands wait for the
Day they decend on the fairy cakes
Rainbow Rebellion? no…more like decoration
Each one looking forward to the
Decadent day they add a spot of colour to the
Sweet icing they land on
