Jan Allison Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Time for Dessert – Acrostic Challenge 2 Contest.

Lemon Tart

Lovely lemony filling such a tasty treat
Easy to make, and so delicious to eat
My recipe is so easy, I confess that I cheat
One pastry case bought in the high street
Now everyone will know about my deceit!

Two eggs, sugar, and heavy cream is best
Add juice of two lemons and lots of the zest
Rapidly whisk, but do not splash your chest!
Then bake tart in the oven, it’ll thrill any guest

Bj Legros Kelley May 1, 2026 at 7:08 PM Yum! You have made me hungry with your delicious acrostic poem!

Terry Miller April 21, 2026 at 8:29 AM I do so love a tart, this acrostic gem is delish! Congratulations

Duke Beaufort April 20, 2026 at 11:56 AM Jan, from one baker to another....it's quite all right to purchase a prepared crust for these pudding like pies. They are so much of a treat really. Whether or not to roll a crust sometimes depends on how much time we have and the mood we are in. Smiles!!!

Kim Rodrigues April 20, 2026 at 9:36 AM I’ll take a slice! Congrats!

Paul Callus April 19, 2026 at 1:26 PM Your lemon tart would certainly be a treat, Jan, irrespective of whether the pastry case is homemade or not :) I enjoyed this Acrostic, and the rhyming. Congratulations !! Regards & Hugs // paul

Andrea Dietrich April 19, 2026 at 12:37 PM How yummy, Jan . This would be one of my favorite desserts too. Congrats in my challenge.

David Kavanagh April 8, 2026 at 12:23 PM Oh it’s more fun Jan if one splashes their chest lol! A little bit of cheat and deceit is what every good tart should have too, sorry! don’t mind me I’m on a sugar rush, plenty of zest for the contest, cheers David David Kavanagh April 8, 2026 at 2:48 PM Nigella would agree lol! Jan Allison April 8, 2026 at 12:58 PM I would have thought a good tart needs a decent chest - a pre requisite for the job in hand lol David lol:-) hugs Jan x

Tania Kitchin April 7, 2026 at 6:15 PM Jan, sounds delicious. I like anything lemon. Best for the contest. Jan Allison April 8, 2026 at 12:59 PM thanks Tania, my hubby loves lemon meringue pie but I prefer my lemon tart it has much less sugar in it too! hugs jan xx

Pashang Salehi April 6, 2026 at 11:17 PM Hi Jan You know, you’re my favorite… I have been out of the poetrysoup for a few years, concentrating on writing books. Love your lemon tart… delicious INDEED. Jan Allison April 8, 2026 at 1:02 PM aww pashang, my beautiful butterfly friend I have missed you and your wonderful poems and paintings and still cherish the fact I (as a dragonfly) was incorporated into one of your artworks! I have self published 2 books of my silly poetry (not to everyone's taste but i try and raise a smile lol) I spend less and less time on the site as do many of my old friends but i plod on when my muse behaves. hugs jan xx

Victor Buhagiar April 6, 2026 at 9:31 PM That's quite a recipe for a treat. Occasionally I indulge in a sugar fee lemon cake. Best for a win. Jan Allison April 8, 2026 at 1:02 PM Thanks Victor, hope you are keeping well:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan Allison April 8, 2026 at 1:03 PM lol you know my humour regarding a 'tart' lol. i can message you the recipe if you like, its so easy even i can make it! hugs Jan x

Ilene Bauer April 6, 2026 at 12:32 PM a favorite dessert of mine, too, jan, but this one is extra delicious because of its not-so-secret ingredient of rhyme! Jan Allison April 8, 2026 at 1:04 PM aww thanks Ilene - I adore your poetry and to me you are Queen of rhyme !! hugs jan xx

Laurentine G April 6, 2026 at 10:16 AM What a delight Jan! I've probably only baked for guests about 4 times. I'm better at chopping and combining - so guacamole or tabbouleh. I'm sure your guests don't mind a pastry short cut :) Laurentine G April 6, 2026 at 12:18 PM I'll store that information and start impressing guests at some future point! :) Jan Allison April 6, 2026 at 12:17 PM Thanks Laurentine, its the simplest desert to make, takes about 10 min prep if that and 30 mins to bake:-) hugs Jan xx

Lin Lane April 6, 2026 at 10:14 AM Well, missy, you had to go all out and write yours in monorhyme verses! LOL Well done, Jan! I'd love a slice but hold the blueberries on mine. Jan Allison April 6, 2026 at 10:17 AM I just had fun with the contest I hope Andrea likes my effort. I love making lemon tart and taking it round to friends if we are out for a meal but i do cheat with the pastry case - and why not lol. at least I admit i cheat lol
