It’s just an illusion
that softly stirs sadness within my broken heart’s
confusion.

I have been tricked.
I'm seduced by the Queen of Tarts -
and pricked.

Voodoo
casts magic darts -
you.

 It’s just an illusion,
 I'm seduced by the Queen of Tarts -
 you.

Tempting Tart

Simply delightful
Just like trifle
Sticky Toffee
Or even banoffee
New York baked
Yummy carrot cake

But you can't beat the sugary taste
That sticks to your lips and clings to your waist,
Of the lushness of strawberry tart
Tingling your tongue and melting your heart
Crumbling of pastry, licking of cream
Juicy bite of strawberry, heavenly dream

Tart Love

pull my velvet
strings
and I'll sing
crushing lines

of our
cherry filled
lives

The Posh Tart

The posh Tart. 

She, an old fashioned girl, when walking past me
dropped her handkerchief, gallantly I picked it up.
and hand it to her, it was scented and had enticing  
aroma of womanhood. Said her price and my face
fell into the street where it was dragged along by
a cleaning car. She didn´t look that way- short skirt
beret and red handbag-. Said she only picked up
    gentlemen, I was going home from a literary party 
    consisting of pork pie, hot air and warm red wine.
I walked into a bar, had a double whisky thought 
    about what she had said… calling me a gentleman.  
From the inside of the bar I saw her drop her silk
hankie again, like bait, this time she caught a fish 
and off they went to make posh love, I marveled 
over my everlasting naivety and wondered if she 
called him a gentleman too.

Tart Anyone?

This man that comes from Larts
He made some extraordinary tarts
Customers ate then in haste
Not a piece went to waste
Secretly seasoned with garlic and cheddar farts



Premium Member An Ala Carte Tart

There was a ripe randy old tart
when kissing her John she did fart
that's nothing she said
'cause he wets the bed
Who cares it's all ala carte!

Polly Your a Tart -I Am Cynical of Polly

Polly your a tart
and I knew it from the start
the quake in your bake is a major mistake

No offence can be your defense 
or shake and remake that you're FAKE

So I know you'll understand 
if I just vote for the MAN...
although now that I say it ...not so sure I can play it 
cause his face is too tan and his nature....
not bland

The danger is real 
takes no scientist to feel
that a bombing in the end 
does not peace defend

Polly,
A winner you are not! 
but let's retie the knot!

I will vote yes for you -my political **** 
cause the other guys ....a full blown Earth endangering nut

Tart

Tarts 
Chorus
You are not the tart, but I am 
For am sweet and exciting 
I am indeed the tart, for am exciting and sweeteee

Sweetness of bitter-leaf is the antithesis of nature,
Lacks the wherewithal to counsel bee-stung hunter 
Of the sweetness filled in the honeycomb chambers,

Chorus
You are not the tart, but I am 
For am sweet and exciting 
I am indeed the tart, for am exciting and sweeteee

And nothing could prepare the fresh-married virgin 
For the excitement of climaxes, when the beginning 
Was an anticlimax of pain and blood and in-depth 

Chorus 
You are not the tart, but I am 
For am sweet and exciting 
I am indeed the tart, for am exciting and sweeteee

But the real joy only comes when their is a blossoming ,
And their is enduring fruitfulness and life limitless,
The beauty and passion and playful tantrums of togetherness.

Chorus
You are not the tart, but I am 
For am sweet and exciting 
I am indeed the tart, for am exciting and sweeteee

Sweet, Tart, and Insanely Brilliant

A little of 3 ( sweet,  tart, and insanely brilliant)  
the fruitcakes of our world know much, yet we deem them crazy
The fine line between sanity and insanity has been crossed 
we now no longer know who is a doctor, who is a quack

I watched her bury stones inside the earth 
all over the grounds of our complex 
She spoke to herself and she spoke to the aliens 
God help her, one more complaint and they'd lock her up 

I went home to a sane house of quiet, and kneeled  
God give me the strength to survive one more day 
Then I buried my amethyst deep in the soil 
like the sweet tart had shown me, 

Insanely Brilliant !

Linzer Tart

A bakery box was waiting
When my key unlocked the door.
Today’s the day of Valentines – 
I knew what it was for.

I slit it open, took a look
And broke into a grin,
For something that I truly love
Was nestled there within.

It was a heart-shaped cookie,
Filled with berry jam inside.
For you who know me oh so well
Knew just what to provide.

I will indulge tonight and eat
This lovely Linzer tart,
A perfect symbol of the reason
That you stole my heart.

Premium Member Wedding Tart Cake

The white and pink strawberry filled cake
Is served with red velvet cupcakes
In the social gathering
When the bride and groom share
An immense joy with
Their relatives 
And friends as
Tart is
Sliced

Premium Member Another Stale Old Tart

There was but one 
                     dark chocolate tart 
left in the silver tray 
It’s cherry, pinched by passersby
                     so early in the day
Its dreams were dashed 
                           as it could see
              the softly dimming light
meant that the little bakery 
             was closing for the night

It longed, just to be purchased 
                 A cream filled destiny 
But all was lost, it seemed 
  as there was little hope, you see

Though thoroughly delicious 
                  and still a work of art
No one seems to care about
                  another stale old tart

Premium Member Pigeon Tart

pigeon tart pecked at a red M&M
her head feathers became a fiery blend
the poets were shocked and confused
while scratching the head of their muse
What happens if she pecks a green M&M

Premium Member Tart

You broken my heart
Before we could even start.
You seen my feelings
As objects, pieces of art.
Your choice of words are so tart.
