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
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!

I do like a sponge pudding
coming to life in the oven
covered in fruity delights
sweet soft pillows of loveliness
and that’s before you get to the custard!

flown in over field and dale
landed among the town’s bracken and bush
entangled in some weird hug with the original bush
where expert eyes, pick up the most sumptuous berries
inspected, and sent off to the kitchen – spending time
next to the sugar and pectin – for creating a tasty jam
Salford, 3rd June 2020
Baked – like a cake – but for longer
it’s middle depends on it’s flavour
sometimes it’s jam if its a dodger
creamy flavoured middle if custard or bourbon
usually eaten with a beverage, like tea or coffee
incredible range down the biscuit aisle
taken and dunked, regularly, around afternoon tea

Down in a corner of the kitchen
Over by the bread bin and
Under a tea towel
Great things are happening – the bread’s beginning to prove
Hot ovens await, and butter and jam soon after
#CYW #Jazzberryjam
Jump and jive
as the berries do their thing
zipping around
zestily with the sugar
becoming an exceptional spread
expect to find in jam butties up and down the land
revelling in the same place as the
raspberries and strawberries – tween two pieces of bread
yipping and zipping a taste around as you eat

A prompt from Writerswrite.co.za – cheers to the promptuarium for providing the list of prompts
Best meal of the day, some people call it….
Ripe tasty bananas slapped between two pieces of buttered bread, or
Egg, boiled and salted, and served up with bread soldiers
A hearty breakfast – they say, is fit for a
King….Bacon, Eggs, sausage, tomatoes….
French toast is an alternative if you don’t like chasing your food
As are cereals….but don’t forget toast and
Strawberry jam….its a crowd pleaser
That’ll please any fussy eater (or cheese if they don’t like the sweet stuff)
Salford , 25th April 2019
Triangular wonder
cooked by the heat of a thousand suns
in a silver toaster
warming and turning
soft white (or maybe brown) bread
golden and toasty
Yellow butter melts
as it lands on the surface
sinking slowly at the sound of the pop
of a jar opening and the imminent arrival
of the strawberry jam.
