Follow Me To The Food Fair

1. Cupcakes (acrostic)

Chocolatey, fudgy and moist

Ultimately a weekend treat

Pretty as a thousand painted teacups

Cakes that you can literally hold in the palms of your hands

Are magical edible works of art

Kind of impossible not to purchase

Easy to carry, eat, share, concoct and decorate

Sweet like a box of gourmet truffles.

2. Tea Party (free verse)

Shiny peach porcelain tea cups

bubbling perfumed nettle water

sinking inside the coral teapot.

Raspberry cheesecake scones

savoury party sandwiches

to devour and pig out on.

Women in taffy pink lolita gowns

white satin gloves, ballet slipper hats

and blush lemonade mary janes.

Men in black ebony tuxedos

shiny onyx dress shoes

with their hair buzzed and polished.

Husbands and wives

dancing to the opaque mixes

of voiceless beats.

A collection of crescendos

from the upbeat church organ

to the melodic recorder.

3. Strawberries (haiku chain)

Rich sugary plants

that hang on tree branches;

eat those ornaments!

Wholesome as apples

and gorgeous as scarlet stones;

grab some guilt-free sweets!

Vivid as tiny roses

that are stored in baskets;

we call them love berries!

4. Lollipop (free verse)

I’m as spherical as a

dark, juicy magenta gumdrop.

I’m sweet as a strawberry

and merry as a puppet.

I’m pink as a plump raspberry

and wear a white paper stick.

I’m the size of a figurine

but am edible as an apple.

I live in a candy store

with my sticky siblings.

I pose and face the window

as people pass by me

5. Pink Edible Fluff (haiku chain)

Pink sugar fluff

on a paper cone

a carnival snack.

Blue edible cotton

in a plastic bag

a child’s dessert.

Lilac candy clouds

mixed with taffy and blue

a treacle pillow.

6. The Taste of the Philippines (haiku chain)

Now purple as

grape juice and sweet

as warm blueberry pie.

Right in your mouth,

you taste the

season of summer.

Right on the tip

of your tongue,

you feel the waves

of the mauve ocean.

7. Mother Earth’s Gumdrops (free-verse)

The colossal fruit trees

stand above the sunless wisteria sky

as overlapping iris clouds

become visible as lilac snowflakes.

The sound of silent heather raindrops

becomes as musical as a xylophone

being played under the trees of

the big purple orchard.

Tumbling from the crisp trees

are mother earth's gumdrops

in the colour of cranberry jelly

and the size of magenta pebbles.

8. Jolly Jumble (free-verse)

Sticky taffy marbles

dipped in colours of the rainbow

and melted granulated sugar in a pot

huddle over like a pile of bouncing balls.

Blue like cobalt stones on the table,

pink like fuchsia marbles rolling around

and red like holly berries in a container.

A green marble found in the crowd,

in the colour of kiwis and Granny Smith apples

and sour like a bottle of lime Perrier.

I see a few yellow marbles,

in the colour of bananas and star fruit

and sweet like tropical pineapple smoothies.
