The Inkwell
The lanterns welcome the little gremlins to the door
joined by ghosts and ghouls the odd vampire or monster
together with animals of all sorts
knocking on doors , all through the night
giving the neighbours occasional fright
toffees and chocolate fill up their bag with
fruit lollies making up part of their swag
in haunting light they’ll make their way
till they head to their homes to party and play
#Promptuarium #Octpowrimo #halloween #goblins
Out in the farmers field
while the pumpkins slept
out in the field
something crept
leaving a trail of
debris in their way
stopping the chance
of hallows eve play
a question they ask
a simple why?
do people persist with the lanterns ?
they like pumpkin pie….
For its not just trick or treaters
on halloween night
who are frightened away
by the lantern light.
They want to have fun
They just want to play
so to Mr Jack-o-lantern
Please go away!

Only the one, you said….as
Out of the the bakers door you came,
Overloaded with tasty treats, laden
One on top of the other.
Of course, you’ll be sharing those
O shaped pastries when you get back home….
Only the problem is this
Out of all those sugared doughnuts – how many will remain
On your eventual return ???

I can remember walking past the bakers shop
I was six or seven,
a special treat – but only to be eaten after lunch
and that was if – i could find it
you see, my treat was hiding around the bread rolls
playing peek a boo by the chocolate cakes
and skipping around the Chelsea buns
but there was always a moment
where he’d pop up in the bakers window
to say hello
adorned with glace cherries and coloured icing
so i’d forget the iced buns or the Egg Custards
and enjoy my special tasty treat
provided by the baker who made my gingerbread man
#easter
Who’s that hopping in the garden
dropping eggs round the lawn
“I’m celebrating” he tells everyone
“The saviours been reborn”
and so with his very bouncy feet
he’s leaving everyone a treat
in places that are not so sunny
delivering gifts – the easter bunny
Something seasonal served
traditionally in the festive time
of the twelve days of christmas
like mince pies – they’re filled with fruit, but
like christmas cake – there’s a layer of marzipan in
every icing sugared slice
naughty or nice ? a treat after the christmas dinner

No lanterns coming to the front porch
No ghosts floating past the door
No Vampires not worrying ’bout their canines
No Werewolves coming to explore
The street is surprisingly quiet
the children all indoors
as parents keep them from bugs in the air
and other nasty spores
But there’s bobbing apples a plenty
and games in the family house
and treats and the telly, filling their bellies
till they all have to be quiet as a mouse
#CYW #Piggypink
Pink piggies like the ones in the farm
on a plate with instant charm
really tasty with their marshmallow noses
krafty icing with a number of poses
perhaps you’d be worried – about poor mr pig
in fact – when i tell you – you might do a jig
news is – i can tell you – that no pigs come to harm
king of his field – is still sat in the farm
#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

Salford, Sunday 5th April 2020
To many, it’s better than Sunday Lunch
Over the country, they’ve been cooking under the grill
A combination of Ham and Cheese, and sometimes tomato
Sitting under the grill and combining to make a
Totally tasty treat
Instantaneous flavour from bite to bite
End to scrumptious end
