Once it's scone, it's gone
My entry for the Honey Haiku? challenge
Firstly, a correction. It is the Haiku Honey? challenge and not Honey Haiku? as I have put in the subtitle. Note to self: editing is important.
This was written in response to a challenge set in the Vocal Social Society by Caroline Jane, details below:
There are so many things that I like to eat that it was difficult to focus on one. Took a lot of tasting to finally decide which one to write about, which was a chore in itself.
But here goes. I feel so British right now but these are one of my favourite things to eat. Hope you enjoy the experience with me.

Golden top, fruit plump,
Smeared with tartness, like red lips
Clotted cap of cream.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

With me a scone is always gone in seconds (sorry). perfect haiku
Oh yeah. Is there anything better than an afternoon tea with scones, jam, and cream? I don't think there is and what a celebration of the Great British scone this is! I could definitely devour one right now! 😋 Thanks for playing along Rachel. ❤️
