Short Marzipan Poems

descending on tree branches
marzipan on cake...

Sold mainly at Christmas
Similar to fruit cake.
Spiced with ground cinnamon
Studded with candied peel
Sultanas, nuts, raisins
Soft marzipan centre.
Save a big slice for me!

But carry on he did young Michael
Upon his steed his trusted cycle
Set sail for another land
A boat he sailed with a hammers flag

Soon his tyres touched 
And although he thought as much
That this place smelled like marzipan
He'd landed in Afghanistan

Eat Your Cake

One time and many
the past you speak of
was my present
it was the icing on my cake
The yellow marzipan 
my dreams 
my pleasures
under that substantial
crust of sweetness
Now 
its remains 
sit in an old tin
forgotten
waiting to feed 
the birds in my garden....

Sweet Thing 

A butterfly whispers a solitaire kiss 
A cinnamon smile in perfect bliss 
Honey drips on Marzipan lips
A smile , A dimple , A gentle wisp

Demerara adorns your sweet tongue
I'm so glad you've invited me along 

Oh sweet thing 
Be mine for evermore 
Kiss my cheek and forever 
Make my knees weak 

thank you...

Lawn furniture flavored ice cream
	served in moxa cups
Candied eyes of freshwater bream
	pickled bushdog pups.

Pig pizzle wrapped around a stick
	grilled upon the deck
Woven rope with cat head and brick
	hung about your neck.

Marzipan violin bowed by a stoat
	badminton played widdershins
A toast of poison without antidote
	barefoot on needles and pins....

From murders and mysteries

Fantastic fireworks

Easter eggs are an important part of Easter tradition

We decorate eggs with beautiful colors

Creating many of chocolate and yellow marzipan

Filling them with lots of sweet candy

Hiding them, high and low

The egg symbolizes new life

A creative force ~ a fertility symbol












HAPPY EASTER :)

Many memories of my mother
making moist mellow macaroons 
marshmallows and Madeira cake,
minuscule madeleines, marvellous,
mum measures, marinates, melts,
more majestic meals.
My matriarch makes,
marmalade,
marzipan,
muffins,
mincemeat,
meringue.
mousse.
My meritorious mom mixes, merges, mingles,
melon,
mango,
mulberries,
Mandarins.
My maternal materfamilias, masterminds 
Mealtime masterpieces....

I sail on an ocean of custard and jam,

Aboard a ship made of biscuits and bread.

I am the sweet toothed pirate I am,

And clearly not right in the head.

Nebulous streams clouding my brain,

Give me some peculiar thoughts,

I wear a vest made of liquorice sticks,

And a pair of marzipan shorts.

With my motley crew of gingerbread men,

Who are armed to the teeth with balloons,

We go round the world, kidnapping cakes,

While we gorge on sweet macaroons....
