The Inkwell
Zingy is how you might call it
each pore of the citrus fruits skin
holds a little bit inside
and as your figures begin to split
the fruit’s smell contained therein
escaping into the room
where it does reside
enhancing the flavour into which you’ve just bit
Wrapped up in Marzipan
this ever special bake
isn’t a mince-pie
that’s something that isn’t a flan
but definitely what you would call a cake
filled with fruit that’s full of flavour
and perfect for all the family to try
a pudding that everyone will savour
In response to Fandango’s one word challenge
You knew your nephew wouldn’t eat his greens
every mealtime saw a trip to the bin
but appreciating his happy sweet tooth
you snook something into pudding unseen
and eating with the custard you did grin
as he ate up his carrots with a great big smile
hidden in the sponge cake with sultanas between
and wouldn’t complain about veg – for a while
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
A San-San for the Daily post prompt
Born from the bakers creative mind
A Combination of skill, talent, water seed
King at breakfast time
Every body by the toaster will find
Round soft boiled eggs, to fill the need
If cereal’s a missing – and there’s no jam
Eaten before the school bell chime
Some fill in the space – a round of boiled ham
In a porcelain pot
sits some stripy pink flowers
in a group – there’s a lot
passing the hours
positioned in centre of table at a meal
by the chef and his team who are more than able
to show off their wares and create a feel

A San-San poem – Origins rooted on the Greek Island of Crete
On holiday by a grecian water
I saw a flying insect having some tea
it flew for the pollen from flower to flower
occasionally passing a grecian sun or daughter
it was happy to pass through the flowers this bee
till it was time to head for home
where it spend a passing hour
away from the sun making honeycomb.

Mammal that lives in the tropical seas
Aquatic in the way it moves and breathes
Natural resident of west Indian water
Animal that grazes sea floor as it please
two large flippers allow him to weave
enjoying the plants lying under his feet
Each a present perhaps from neptunes daughter
sumptuous food for an afternoon treat
#Coloryourworld #cyw #skyblue
Blue is the sky
the kite flies through
marshmallow pillows
and as it flies
rainbows brand new
travel through the air
passing over high white willows
colours of strawberry, orange, apple, banana and pear
Salford, 22nd November
Another piece on Rainbows and art.
When white light bends
through northern skies
It always raises a smile
The colours never end
with this pleasant surprise
captured by the eye
So, pick up your brush and paint the scene
and let the colours, red through green, fly
