Fruit Cake!

Plate-based poetry - the subject of my muse!

Just before leaving Heydon Village Tea Shop the other day, I poked my head around the corner and thanked the proprietor/baker for the superlatively delicious cake I had just eaten, adding that, "this cake will inspire poetry." And, true to my word, it has!

Fruit Cake!

I was destined to succumb

to the charms of the crumb

of the cake that Cindy baked

With a kiss blown

And a wish sown

To make raisons d'etre burst with flavour

And spices sing with a taste to savour

Listen up

Make no mistake

I'm having a moment

With this cake!
