I love me a good tart,
Soft
Warm
Inviting
Never fails to
Make me
Smile
Sweet
Sensuous
Give me joy
Give me longing
Give me indulgence
Oh wait? You were referring to the dessert?
Sorry I was thinking of something else
A Stew of Stanzas
Whatever Tee and Gee can throw into this stew for a good boil. Enjoy it while it's warm. ;)

#7 Stomp
Angry voices
Separated by
Thick cold walls
Hostile words
Hurled at the door
Forceful stamps
Echo
Hollow
Metal
Heavy
Up the stairs
Slam the door
Stormy weather
Stay indoors

#6 Tart
All I can think of
That rhymes with
Tart
Is
Fart
*
Spoonfuls of sugar
Many stirs in the pot
And many more stirs
A mash of soft fruit
A layer of pastry
A layer of butter
Many watering mouths
And a scoop and two
Of ice cream and
More cream
This sounds like pie
But it really is not
A tart is a tart
And it will be gone
Before you find out
That it really is not!

#5 Ink
Against fingertips
Black, green and blue
Tracing with lines
Your story and mine
Shut in a book
A menagerie
Of words
Of thoughts
Of ideas
And secrets
Also of stories untold
The ink that colours
Myself with words
Is black
And blue
And sometimes green too
Black, green and blue
Tracing with lines
Your story and mine
Shut in a book
A menagerie
Of words
Of thoughts
Of ideas
And secrets
Also of stories untold
The ink that colours
Myself with words
Is black
And blue
And sometimes green too

#4 Foam
Warm sand
Sunken footprints
Cool waves
Curling at my toes
Pipis hiding
Tiny crabs melting
Into the holes
Covered by the tide
Soggy sand
Fading footprints
Receding waves
Pulling at my toes
Pipis revealed
Tiny crabs scuttling
Out of holes,
Fizzling foam
Sunken footprints
Cool waves
Curling at my toes
Pipis hiding
Tiny crabs melting
Into the holes
Covered by the tide
Soggy sand
Fading footprints
Receding waves
Pulling at my toes
Pipis revealed
Tiny crabs scuttling
Out of holes,
Fizzling foam

#3 Bottle
A thread of thought
A glint of hope
A simmer of anger
A wishful dream
Strands of colour
Grains of soil
Always filling
Yet so draining
Another strand
Make room for more
Brimming over
Bubbling noises
Pour it out
Pressure is high
No one hears it
Don't let it break
A glint of hope
A simmer of anger
A wishful dream
Strands of colour
Grains of soil
Always filling
Yet so draining
Another strand
Make room for more
Brimming over
Bubbling noises
Pour it out
Pressure is high
No one hears it
Don't let it break

#5 Ink
A poem I could write with some ink
Just give me the weekend to think
But it has to be said
I ain't gonna be paid
So this deal's beginning to stink
Just give me the weekend to think
