The Inkwell
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!

To some
its a heavenly dish
kept wrapped up in its pastry parcel
king of the curries (created by the british)
arm yourself though – the recipes vary
Made the same way of the days of empire
a meat is spiced in a number of spices and
rolled around in a sauce of tomatoes, spices and cream
some might say – its not spicy enough, but
as it was devised for those with a delicate pallette
lots of people enjoy it as a main meal or teatime snack
as its not as fiery as its madras or vindaloo cousins

The preparation seemed endless
the pie dish lined with the finest pastry
rolled out , sugared and buttered
now sat there waiting for the filling
The Smell of Bubbling Bramley apples
merging together with sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon
attracts the local feathered residents
looking longingly past the window glass
dropped into a sweetened parcel
and sealed with a spiced sugared lid
finally toasted together in the oven
served up after the fish and chips
and the perfect accompaniment for it
is spluttering away on a hob
as the smell of fresh vanilla custard
meets with warm apple pie – just the job!

A tale of an Apple Turnover
This is a bit of a wonder
Undeniable – the baker is a bit of a marvel
Ripe apples transformed into a take home delight
Nice eaten hot with custard
Or cold with a bit of icecream
Varieties exist – some are spiced and others have sultanas in them
Everyone enjoys them as a breaktime treat –
Rows of delicious pastries leave, as fast as they are baked

Filled to the brim
with wonderful fruit
your average kid ponders
how they can squeeze so much
into something smaller than a scone
Wall to wall raisins
sit side by side
in their sleeping bag
of flaky pastry
Bread cannot beat this nutty confection
As honey and nuts combine in the Greek sunshine
Kept in a cool place so it keeps its tasty flavours
Locked in, served with ice cream or a Greek coffee
And normally served up at the end of a meal.
Vexed with the number of ones to try ? The
Almond ones are particularly tasty
A San-San By Brian F Kirkham (Inky)
The branches against the household wall
holds fruit that’s ripening for a pie
blackberry stems bring fruit with flavour this season
that answers to the pastries call
over with envy the birds do fly
could this be why it cooks with haste ?
depriving the feathered hunters a reason
to head for the window to grab a taste

For centuries
Our destiny has been held in
Round , sweetened pastries of the orient
Telling coded messages after dinner…love, life and good fortune
Until now, they remained the mystery
Nobody knew what lay in store after the feast
Except, of course – the pastry chef…
