#CYW #Beaver
Builder of some wonderful constructions
every day he’s going down stream for materials
and crafting them so they adapt to his home
versatile in the way he places each stick
each one having its own purpose
rivers brooks and
streams keep moving – but he’s directing the flow
#coloryourworld #cyw #fruit #banana #yellow
Born out of a tree
A yellow skinned treat
Nice between two slices of bread
Also appreciated by young uns in a cake of some sort
Note though whether in a cake or not – they’re great with custard
A note of caution – don’t eat the peel – they’re not like apples
#cyw #atomic #tangerine #fruit
A sensation
Thats what i guess you would call it
Out of the fruit
Many segments of zingy fruit
In a haphazard
Circular formation
Tangy on the tongue
as you bite on the segments
navigating your way to the juice
great explosions as the segments
empty their flavoured cargo
round the mouth
its like an orange – but some say they’re
nicer than that, and easier to peel
expect smiles around the fruit bowl when the kids get home
As they were released from the
Strings holding them together, the
Purple tipped stalks were prepared for the dinner plate
A motley bunch of greens
Roasted in a pan with other vegetables
A side to the main food star on the plate
Green and purple showing off the white of the fish
Up and around where it were sitting
Something to chew over , with the fish and tomatoes
It might not be what the jeweller calls “precious”
but its just as wonderful in its own way
polished up – it brings decoration to the front door
a little sophistication, and perhaps “character”
its harder than its precious friends
and although it can tarnish – its easily polished
ask any trader that comes down the street
where there’s muck, there’s brass
#CYW #Aquamarine
They say its the true colour of water
but by the time you’ve had your cordial added
the fruit has fizzled it away
It sets of a summer holiday perfectly
as the sun reflects its blue
and you wan’t to dip your toes
on perfect days, the sky mirrors the sea
and its like the sea begins where the sky ends
wonderful to look at from a deckchair
of course, the jeweller likes this colour
its the birthstone thats usually surrounded by diamonds
so its no wonder he likes it
or the colour of the eyes of the young lady
whos entered his shop
to purchase a ring with this precious stone
#CYW #Apricot
A fruit smaller than its cousin, the peach
people say its not as hairy, but tasty nevertheless
reactions – some say its just right – others say wheres the rest of it ?
its nice on its own, or in a yoghurt or even with cereal
craziest thing of all – you can get them in a packet – dried
of course, you don’t have to eat them dried
then again why would you want to?
Amazing condition, given its age
noted for the craftsmanship in every curve
to some, its undervalued
its brighter than tarnished silver and dull gold
quite a talking point to visitors of the house
unless you’re going to sell it though – costs are irrelevant
except when you spot a similar item – and you want it in your house
#cyw #almond
A tasty treat – whether its
lining the outside of a cake or its innards
marzipan makes some great decoration
of course its tasty as part of the cake too
newcomers to these treats might need some training
dont forget to break it open – that shell is hard!
#CYW #Yellow-orange
Someone’s been mixing up the citrus again
the orange juice looks that little more….
what’s the word ? Zingy ?
and that’s before you took the cap off the bottle
Lifting the lid gives you a clue
to the origin of the brighter orange
there’s a zip of lemon, and the zest of lime
