The Inkwell
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

a response to a writeclub prompt by inky
The heat of the kitchen
was the moment
The hydrogen twins
departed from their oxygen mum
And went their own way
Flying around the air
In an attempt to find their own space

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

I don’t know what made me fall for you
was it the beauty of your face
the way your eyes shone like sapphires?
or perhaps it was the way
while you were at the marble chopping board
you could put together a spice mix
that was sweeter than any rose in the garden?
Way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, wrote a wise man
But he’ll never forget the way you captured mine
mixing it up in the kitchen

The latest challenge to members of the write club
Write a poem on a kitchen utensil……i did mine on a fish slice
Oh noble utensil
Rescuer of the friday night supper
As the chips cook under the lights under the grill
Note as you look after your charge
Guiding it around so its batter armour doesn’t break
Even your fellow utensils on the range know – this takes patience.
And when its time for the king of the cod to
Meet up with his army of
Brilliantly browned potatoes
Every precaution is taken to
Rest his majesty into the protection of his soldiers

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 #Copper
Could this element
Out of all of those
Perched on the Periodic Table, be the most useful ?
Pink orange in colour – the metal gives the colour a name
Expect to see pans and pots, formed from it
Resident in kitchens up and down the land

#Food #Sandwich #Hazelnut #Chocolate #Spread #Supper
Sat in the kitchen – pondering
What to have to satisfy my inner pooh bear
End of the cupboard – the bread bin
End of the corner cupboard – the provisions store
Taking the last of the hazelnut spread tween two pieces of wholemeal – delicious!
#Fowc #Kitchen #Spill
Some say “You can’t cry over spilt milk”
put into context – when that milk
is in a chocolate pudding – and its
landed on the kitchen floor – tears will flow as
lapping it up – instead of you – is your pet pussycat
