#Octpowrimo
Crafted from the cocoa bean and
Hot steamed milk
Out of the cold autumnal morning
Comes something warm and satisfying
Only your tastebuds can truly tell why you
Like it so much
As you send a biscuit in
The sweet smelling brew, for a bit of an
Explore

Maybe it’s the summer weather
inviting my tastebuds to
lap up this strawberry infused delight, but i
keep on returning to it on
sun drenched days. Perhaps it reminds me of
holidays, under a parasol …. it
always seems to
keep me cool
even in the most exceptional of temperatures

Zingy little fruit,
full of zest and flavor
and powerful punch
perfect , placed in a jelly
sparky flavours contained in
a porcelain mould
Sparks of delight
pop off on the tongue
and your luminosity
Green for go ! your sign
the party power switches
are all turned on

light beams travel cross the water 💦
as bright yellow lemons 🍋
release their wonderful flavour
through the corporation pop
in the tumbler
each drop 💧 releasing
the fresh flavour of summer.
perfect with the blue sky on green grass

A post for the weekly photo challenge –
Things reused for not what they were supposed to be…
This can be illustrated nicely in my office cum bedroom
Its a Tin, an old biscuit tin….regular readers of my blog might recognise it – but a couple of Christmas’s ago, it held much more than the mere coinage than it does today…
its contained everything from creamy vanilla fudge to chocolate mints.
but today? its a container for my spare change – the odd coppers that end up in my pockets of my trousers and coats. when its reasonably full – i’ll take it down to the local coin machine and pocket the proceeds…which I might spend on a box of fudge or chocolate – and being empty, the tin will be re used again
I was given this tankard on my 21st birthday. Now although I drink beer occasionally, I don’t drink it on a regular basis – and i’m more likely to drink out of a pint glass than a tankard. So, instead of my tankard gathering dust on a shelf (or more likely, collecting windswept desert sand from the nearby Trafford road) I’ve put it to some kind of good use,holding the art materials that I use to create drawings and such you might see on here 🙂 there maybe a time it gets reused as a pint pot – but it’ll be well cleaned before I use it for that ! 🙂

Maybe it was love at first sight
As the juice bar music 🎶 played on
A mango entered into a dance 💃
with a fruity little thing
a distant cousin of the orange 🍊
A whirlwind romance
creating something colourful fresh and zesty

Percolate
Born in the Sun
Saved from Birds – Red Blue and Yellow
The humble little coffee bean
is a hardy fellow
Grown in the warmth
of a plantation
with 50,000,000
brothers and sisters
picked from its parent
it travels for miles
travelling in bags
with no room to smile
asked to improve
the heated aqua
and roasted within
an inch of its life
Life force captured
in three sizes of cup
and then the final insult
the drop of milk and sugar
#Weekendcoffeeshare
Sat in a coffee house of Italian Style
Giving my feet a rest for a while
having traversed the floor of a great gallery
my feet need a rest – and I start to agree
I order a late lunch – between two bread rolls
and sit down at table to rest up my soles
and whilst I am waiting – I read a good story
one that is funny and not at all gory
And as I wait, the steam it just rises
as barista puts in a cup of surprises
toffee flavour bits in my cocoa of day
a flavour that’s tasty in its own special way
But here comes my late lunch – tomatoes and meat
with cheese and salami – a real special treat
and as I tuck in, I’ve enjoyed my day
Sandwich brightening the weather, despite all the grey.
Why did you go and do it?
You really shouldn’t you know
Maybe you thought you were being clever
being spurred on by that One extra drink
You came out with a torrent
of blue words and innuendo
till you looked for the nearest exit
and found there was nowhere to go
So dressed up like a dancing queen
you walk down night time streets
whilst your friends hide in your shadows
created by your stark bare feet
