Tim Smith Poet Sonnet

The World Is Your Oyster - Collaboration With Darren White

Oysters, huh?

With this knife, cut the shell all across
Marinade lovingly in soy sauce
Bits of garlic and chives for some heat
Cook very short, and it's time to eat

Slurp down a delicacy delight
Not at all slow, for it doesn't bite 
Wash it away with a tender sip 
Ambrosia waiting upon my lip

I've prepared another one for you
Your Muscadet to dive, straight into
My kiss, we share the wine and a bite
This time, this joint, this oyster delight

I am your lemon and you are my lime
Perfect the mix, the flavour divine

Jean Murray January 28, 2017 at 4:34 PM Yummy!! I LOVE oysters, but I can't cook. So, I'll be right over with Prosecco. Jean Murray January 29, 2017 at 4:32 AM To me that speaks volumes about you Arthur. Maybe if I had eaten the other twelve instead?? Arthur Vaso January 28, 2017 at 7:52 PM They say oysters are an aphrodisiac, I just want to tell you is not true, I ate 24 of them last night, only 12 worked!

Arthur Vaso January 27, 2017 at 10:34 PM Well I can certainly say I get the knife line!!! Great collab you guys! :)

Chris Green January 27, 2017 at 11:34 AM I'm with you Darren, I might like oysters after reading this. :) Nicely done bot of you. Great collaboration. Darren White January 27, 2017 at 12:09 PM If I cook 'em for you with garlic and chives, marinated in soy sauce? People love that :) Tim Smith January 27, 2017 at 11:42 AM I'm sure...thanks Chris

Daniel Turner January 27, 2017 at 11:11 AM The world is an oyster but I'll be hanged if I can find the pearl and it sure as heck is hard to digest. Cool collab you two:) Tim Smith January 27, 2017 at 11:41 AM lol Daniel Turner January 27, 2017 at 11:23 AM I am the pirate ship, "The Black Pearl" Lol Tim Smith January 27, 2017 at 11:13 AM If you can't find it you must be it.

Charmaine Chircop January 27, 2017 at 10:56 AM Indeed tasty and balanced, a fantastic post.. Darren White January 27, 2017 at 11:22 AM He did! That's all one sometimes needs for a sonnet :) Tim Smith January 27, 2017 at 11:09 AM Thanks Charma, it all stemmed from a comment I made to Darren that the world is his oyster.
