Pasta
By Brian F Kirkham
#Foodforthesoul
Prepared by the finest hands
Allied with flavours of the region
Succent Tomatoes, mix with the finest herbs and mozzarella
To create a sensation fit for any Italian town
And Ham, Salami and Olives enhance the taste
Brought to the fore by that Derbyshire town
Almonds in abundance in that wonderful spongey tart
Kept in the bakers front window
Everyone appreciates its fullsome flavour
When its brought out at afternoon tea
Each slice full of almonds and
Lashings of raspberry jam and topped with a
Layer of tasty icing
Made in Grecian lands, many years ago
Ordered Tessellations form pictures on the floor
Square tiles of differing colour
Anchored in time to the ground
Inspired by tales of heroes and
Crafted by true artisans

Container of time
Locking tumblers and cogs
Over days months and years
Cover the movement of hands – hear them tick!
Keeping watch for Father Time as
Sand passes through his timer
Compass
By Brian F Kirkham
Crafted with Care to
Orientate the vast
Map of the known world
Passing through
All lands nearby –
Seven continents await as do the
Seven stormy seas
