Whatever you do
be careful with that zingy coloured fruit
as you carve through the peel for its zest
it’ll come back at you as fast as lightning
blink – and you’ll miss it as it flies headlong toward your eye
it’s a flavour that’ll make your tongue sing
and bring a tang to any fruit pie
but watch out – its a fruit that’ll fight back!
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
Tap, and Unwrap
That’s how it goes
and a scent of orange
wafts up my nose
Scent – then a taste
of orange from oil
captured in chocolate segments
held in the foil
Dark light and White
Mixes of chocolate and zest
Melt in the mouth zing
A taste that’s the best
The humble lemon,
like its siblings the orange and lime
each segment is full of cells just
bursting with juice
as the fruit knife cuts through the peel to the zesty core
each cell in its way bursts – releasing
fresh lemon zest into the air
while drops of lemon fall onto fresh marble
A Zesty colour
sign of the start of spring and summer
daffodils and daisies explode with colour
and marigolds make hay in the morning sun
Lemon sponge sits in the oven cooking slowly
for a farmhouse lunch –
Vanilla custard softly turning in a copper pan
as breakfast is served – a soft boiled egg
with toasted soldiers and yellow butter.
