The Inkwell#CYW #Peach
Picked from the trees in the hills of Asia
each fruit furry to the touch
and juicy with every bite – just watch out for the stone in the middle
can be eaten on its own, or with custard or cream
hot out of the oven – its wonderful in a pie or a flan
#FDDA #Sweet #Sponge #Puddings
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!
I
Bitter, Salty, Sweet or Sour
Sensations landing on your tastebuds
What is that wonderful fruity flavour
It’s on the tip of your tongue
but you haven’t said it yet
II
Raspberry Jacket and Banana Shirt
with trousers and shoes to match
maybe it’s the height of fashion in the magazines
certainly makes you talk of the town on the shopping run
III
Country or Town
Suburbia or out in the sticks?
Cottage, Terrace, Mansion or Shed ?
Choice of Home – is down to you
but it’s not everybody’s cup of tea
#CYW #Melon
Maybe its me – but I always
expected the colour of a melon would be darker than the one
like you find in your box of crayons – its innards more red than pink
of course, buy a honeydew it’s as yellow as the sun
nice sliced up – they’re sweet regardless of which one you choose

Chocolate munching reptile
having a field day in the house he is!
arriving on a mission – to empty larder cupboards –
munching on oranges, strawberries and lemons
even limes take his sweet tooth to 7th Heaven
Lemon sorbet’s and Chocolate cake can’t
escape his grasp
of course – it would be easier if you can see him – it’s
not that easy when he’s disappeared into the woodwork

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!
#Napowrimo #fly #insect
A fly flew round the mulberry bush
the fly himself got bored
he headed for an open window
and through the air he soared
his little wings a flying
he stopped upon something sweet
he landed on the bowl they were in
and decided to enjoy a treat
but then who should come wondering,
as he came out of the cage
with feathers red blue and green
landing by little flies stage
and the bird had our small friend for dinner
as on the orange he munched
so now say goodbye, to our small friend , the fly
who the birdie has just had for lunch
Crafted from wisps of warm sugar
out of the machine it forms
taking the shape of a cloud
the cloud rises on the warm air
on some occasion, it has to be caught in the
nick of time, before it floats off on its own
Could there be a treat sweeter than this
as the candyman catches the cloud
numbers of children watch as its
delivered on the stick, all
yelling they want one – its such a sweet favorite

Coming from two trees that hold its name
Horse and Sweet varieties exist
Each Autumn kids can be found playing games with conkers
Sweet fare created from the conkers sibling
Tartlets and pies and they’re even used at the Christmas table
Note however – you can’t eat the conker
Unless of course – you happen to be a squirrel
Though its easier if you find one – to plant it for a new tree.
A response to Iscriblrs piece on taste….you’ll find that Here
Salty or Sour ?
Sweet or Sizzling Hot ?
Someone say…Is this strawberry sorbet ?
Someone says (Its Not!)
