Jam Jar Tombola

One part sugar, three parts fruits
One part zest
Pasticcio: a good blend, finesse 
Outside
A Nightingale sings a sweet song
For its chicks still in the nest
 
Her toddler holds a wooden spoon 
Ornate 
A fine purchase 
"Look" 
She points 
At the empty jars 
On the window pane
 
One day 
Her toddler will fly the nest
Like feathering chicks of the mother nightingale 
Wide horizons awaits her
Now
They will mix the jam
For Jam Jar Tombola
