Long Pasties Poems

The Avenue of Gastronomic Delight

Down the broad avenue called Gastronomic Delight
City life gathers when twilight awakens;

In eateries, drive-ins, greasy spoons and taverns – jumpin’ joints jumpin’
Like Snoopy with his dish doing the suppertime dance;

Lured by...

Childhood memories,making camps upon the moors
 wriggling through the bracken deep,
Making paths to our secret den.
Climbing trees,and falling too!
Moss on stones, glistening sun on stepping stones,
Swimming in the river...with a shiver.

Roly poly down the hill,...

The Brainy Stranger @ the Book Store Coffee House - A Narrative Poem

One day at a book store,
In the corner they sold,
Some very flavorful coffee and biscuits cakes;
"We've got some lovely shacks,
Say’s the library hostess".

I'll...

Dumb and Dumber dolts 
got dim a dullard king Dumbo

We began the morning in Bark River Michigan 
watching the orange sun calm the waters of the lake
and listening as the sun and waves nudged the birds awake.

The geese began to sing…then a host of...

Don't come to my house,after all.
Our Weimar Republic Governor,
regaled..." Ten people, that's all"


If you want to dance must be 20
feet away?
I heard a liberal state is outlawing
kissing soon, as they take more 
freedoms as we...

In the Australian summer
you’ll always have some mates,
they will ride upon your back 
and then fly to your plates
at your picnic in the outdoors,
and there’ll never be a truce,
when you’re putting out the food,
and both...

Mums Kitchen.

If I went back to the house of my childhood days,
I'm sure I'd see mum in the kitchen, as my eyes start to glaze.
Busily moving pots and pans from the stove to the sink,
I...

Trinity Street, Bolton,
it was Jack and Jaya’s first date,
Jack had got there early,
worried he’d be late,
the ticket woman said,
to head for platform two,
“you’ll have to get a move on though,
your train is almost due”,

Steak pies is my favourite  to eat with vegetables for dinner
With succulent pastry which couldn't be thinner

Meat and gravy are cooked in unison
Making this pie a lip smacking tasty one

Dessert what more could I...

From the gallery
Archaeologists spotted the empty space
Larger than the cross off M-68 by about 3 times
But they aren't the only ones exploring a void
Ancient like the pyramids is empty in the chest...

I need meat on Valentine ’s Day
A Love Sausage was on display
We will eat one tonight
And to hubbies delight
Much later he will get a lay

But hubby keeps pestering me.
To see my ‘pasties’ after tea.
I will...

I play with shadows
under guise of light and dark
ripened under a half-met sun
ripp'd where tainted thoughts dare run

looking down,
afleet
barren to thrust
flowers slain and seeds lay rough
all the while
the weeds won't grow


til

her toil
unearthed
in muddy soil
patted pasties...

Out of ideas? I laugh in my soup. Vegetables, taters, peas, corn.
Out of ideas? I drink my coffee. Pancakes, waffles, new ideas are born.
Out of ideas? My muse smacks me hard up the side of...

This is our town, this place we share
we’ve got lions, on our town square
old mills, big hills and Smithills Dean
no frills, aside from our home team 
Rivington if you want fresh air 

You’ll not find...
