Instant gratification
noodles and vegetables
swimming in a flavoursome pool
tasty little number brought to life by the
application of just the right amount of hot water
now – don’t forget – stir it up or you’ll find
there’s lumps at the bottom of your cup (you dont want that)
It’s just the thing on a winters morning
Noted for the quickness in its preparation
Some aficionados might complain its not “The real thing”
Though if you checked the ingredients
And looked – Milk, Sugar, Cocoa – its all there
Noses attracted by the Chocolatey waft
That travels through the house from the Kitchen
Something sensational was coming from the Kitchen
in seconds the waft of chicken , ham and vegetables
made its way through the ground floor and
moseyed upstairs to tell my senses
everybody – grab your eating irons – its ready
rendezvousing with crusty bread and salt and pepper
in a combination you will
never forget – a total culinary triumph
got to warn you though – its just out of the pan…watch the bubbles

The sea played with the man on the beach
as he walked along the sand
blue turning to sky blue then white
to catch the sun worshipper and give him a fright
But after a while the man came up to the sea
in an attempt to dip his toes
he put his feet into the blue
and in an instant froze
for while on the sand, the air was warm
the water instead, was not
it was like a bowl of ice cubes
and he was rooted to the spot
the hermit crabs signalled to the oncoming sea
about the beachcombers feet
and then in an instant
the sea beat a retreat
Late night on a Tuesday ,
Watching a comedy on the golden channel
While Russell Hobbs is whipping up a storm
For my late night cup of tea
The fruit tea looks on enviously,
No imitations tonight …. I’ll leave that to the comedians
Tea bag oozes through the milk till it gets that oh so ready colour
When two sugars take a dip in the golden pool
A slurp and a sip, before
My favourite chocolate biscuit, takes a dip.

Early morning rumble
cars muffled by double glazing
dripping of water heading for the drain
saved by a silver – armored plugstop
fingers frolicking in warm soapy water
throwing it towards the face in play
towel comes to the rescue
and they all make their way
down to the kitchen
porcelain meets cocoa bean
and Milk or H2O
transporting our hero into another velvety dream
while waiting for his toast to go pop

Childhood reminiscences
held by a moment
in grease proof paper
positioned in a way – that
seagulls didn’t spot the hidden treasures
barmcakes by Blackpool prom ?
yearly occurance – on the days they’d be testing the lights
toasty hot – fresh out of the fryer
helpings of salt and vinegar a must – but
every sauce under the sun is available for a small silver coin
By the seafront wall
enjoying the taste of battered cod and chips
as the waves gently lap against the sand
coming in ? the sea enquires – sorry i say, i’ve just got
hot – Maybe tomorrow…..as a tram passes by
#promptuarium #poemcrazy #napowrimo #day18
I
Sweltering heat on Mediterranean shores
quenching relief required
up in the trees lies a solution allied with
aqua cool and clear
sensational on a summers day
help yourself to a glass or two
II
Oranges, Lemons, Blackcurrants
just the job on a hot sunny day
something sweet and juicy to
cool off while out of the hot summer sun
sweet and juicy – and with ice
quite refreshing
III
Sports stars take a break in the halves
quenching their thirst and keeping
units of water up – to keep cool
as they run around the
sporting arena – football, tennis, or athletics, without it its
hell out there.

To some, it seemed normal
they spent thousands to come
to this tropical paradise
took a fortnight away,
then sat on the sun loungers, out in the sands
feeling the burn….sipping sunny cocktails
to others, they pondered
why you would do all of that for one week flat
and spend the next seven sun-filled days
searching for shade and shadow
#fowc #plunge
In the warmth of a Roasting Grecian Sun
the cocky young adventurer
might have been forgiven by his elders
for trying to impress the maids sat by the beach
what he didn’t know
was the water that day was more arctic than athenian
and made his heart leap quicker than the girls
