"scones" poems
En l’an trentiesme do mon aage Que toutes mes hontes j’ay beues… Pipit sate upright in her chair Some distance from where I was sitting; Views of the Oxford Colleges Lay on the table, with the knitting. Daguerreotypes and silhouettes, Her grandfather and great great aunts, Supported on the mantelpiece An Invitation to the Dance. . . . . . I shall not want Honour in Heaven For I shall meet Sir Philip Sidney And have talk with Coriolanus And other heroes of that kidney. I shall not want Capital in Heaven For I shall meet Sir Alfred Mond. We two shall lie together, lapt In a five per cent. Exchequer Bond. I shall not want Society in Heaven, Lucretia Borgia shall be my Bride; Her anecdotes will be more amusing Than Pipit’s experience could provide. I shall not want Pipit in Heaven: Madame Blavatsky will instruct me In the Seven Sacred Trances; Piccarda de Donati will conduct me. . . . . . But where is the penny world I bought To eat with Pipit behind the screen? The red-eyed scavengers are creeping From Kentish Town and Golder’s Green; Where are the eagles and the trumpets? Buried beneath some snow-deep Alps. Over buttered scones and crumpets Weeping, weeping multitudes Droop in a hundred A.B.C.’s

What I like
For real, keep it on loop I dig it a lot, like mama’s corn soup You feelin’ me, hearing that tune Or maybe I’m in the wrong room Get up on it, know what I mean Jammin’ on hot scones with cream This song needs to tell our life stories We all have battles forever in our lives When you hear the sound of pop pop, oh no Kids gettin’ shot for a pair of shoes in Chicago Tough neighbourhood street Corrupt badges on the beat Planting dope, selling candy at the corner shop Writing songs, tagging everywhere, if you dare Doin’ time, enter from behind, I never, I swear Come out on parole, new king on throne, lost all control If I had my time again, I’d save a lot more, forget ‘bout toys Look over my shoulders, stick to the plan, escape from the boys They aren’t speakin’ our language Let’s get the hell outta there, somewhere tranquil Day by day, lets see if we can crack the code Try placing ones thoughts in a brand new abode For better or worse, it’s up to you, not your corner crew We grew up thinking we had to listen, who knew Step outside the hood, look around, don’t be shy Then buy a one-way Greyhound ticket, say bye bye At the start it might feel hard, but give it a chance You’ll be surprised what you find, just take that first glance Tough neighbourhood street Corrupt badges on the beat Planting dope, selling candy at the corner shop Writing songs, tagging everywhere, if you dare Doin’ time, enter from behind, I never, I swear Come out on parole, new king on throne, lost all control If I had my time again, I’d save a lot more, forget ‘bout toys Look over my shoulders, stick to the plan, escape from the boys

Air is perfume-light Elbows sank in my pillow I wake from slumber Chamber door opens Handmaiden brings good tidings from outer Kingdoms Holds a silver tray With scones, jam and honey for some chamomile tea Steaming hot china which I blow and gently sip I hum in delight Come, some scrambled eggs With toast and ice-cold fresh fruits Lemon slice in tea The handmaiden speaks As she opens the curtains The sun shines brightly Many ships have docked My kingdom grows in strength and in its beauty Another handmaid Holding a tray of pure gold I see its contents White and gold letters Written by your regal hands Kingdoms near and wide Handmaids open them So many sweet messages Blessings and congrats While sipping my tea I ask for my page and quill Write with golden ink

Queendom
she sat in the center of her home becoming the heart of the halls the blood drifting in and out of the corridors, the clot that stood still in the living room unable to move to the next destination stuck staring at the dusty painting that haunted her tendency to fix that which does not need fixing, humming the delicate tune which ascended into the aorta of her kitchen, all the way to the apex of her attic and finally folding into itself like the towels in her chamber of cabinets, before unraveling out through the long vein of her chimney, the housewife who makes a living with sharpened bread knives and turning scones into christmas trees, who croons ancient love songs in her infinite spare time, and i wonder as i stare at her from underneath my book of russian poetry, how she holds up when the front door bursts opens and nature sings a solo to her heart.

i just want to disappear get a chance to eat the warming scones from the oven and just melt away in stars and sky of navy and grey; i just want to disappear to fly and to leave anywhere i want or desire or dream; i'm dreaming of melting away from where i am for i am floating already, why can't i just disintegrate altogether; altogether yes a distant memory; forever alone isn't something you would think of until it actually happens; although it's not something you realize unless you've tried love and and been scared, afraid of what the person on the other end of the letters is thinking; i just want to disappear far away into the hands of someone who cares not just about my picture but my pulse, someone who looks not just at my eyes but at each individual colouring strand inside my plain brown eyes; i just want to disappear so no one will have to face my retched thoughts and unattainable dreams; i just want to disappear so my friends won't have to look at a scared                             pathetic                                    unhappy                                           awkward lonely person and have sympathy for me if they even do; which if i were on the outside of my slinky body i wouldn't; i wouldn't just want to leave but disappear for it seems that it's what i'm best at; i just want to disappear from my picturesque world that you couldn't even take a nice picture in; i just want to disappear from my ocean of held back tear, my shield of fearlessness, a fake smile that a murderer would wear, the impression i have on the other lives of people, and just i just want to disappear, to run away, and to not have to cause any drama or half broken feelings to anyone, to not correct people for their non-existent flaws that are really my own personal balled up feelings; i just want to disappear, fly away into the clouds and heavens of an unreal dream; i just want to, i just want to disappear, disappear away fly away and never come back never have my flimsy feet touch the beautiful ground never let my ruined soul harm a single cell of anyone worth anything to a single thing; i just want to disappear i just want to disappea i just want to disap i just want i just i - nameless and remaining

If the world turns grey There we would be Side by side Shoulder to shoulder I don't need popularity As long as I have you And you have me Like a cringy Disney channel theme I hope we know each other forever So long that we share cakes and scones As well as aches In  our bones I don't want to ever lose what we have You make me want to write cringy poems You make me who I am To my best friend... I just want to say... No! Your mum the big gay.

My best friend
teething on the knick in your lip, mind blinded. seeping through dragonfly wings like syrup sunlight. you emerge without an egg-tooth. draped in moist. you loosen the nail in your coffin with drowsy crowbars and scones.

COMA TOAST
Born to an Italian father and a dreaming, wide-eyed American, travel was my fortune, my life before I chose it. One late September evening, my wide-brimmed velvet hat and I   discovered what it was to fly. Surging through moving sculptures of clouds, riding the Pan Am night flight to London, I was nine, and I was hooked. Peter Pan was my secret love then. I had saved my loose tooth for the English tooth fairy, wishing and hoping for an English penny. Scones and bridges from my books were real now to taste and see. I began to write then, mostly in my mind. That was how I lived then, and still do. Finding and forming words within for everything. A sacred artesian spring, i Fonti del Clitunno. Perfection at Paestum. Stonehenge, when one could still walk among those holy stones. The early church of Santa Sabina, whose high windows transmit light through membranes of mica. The abiding silence of these ancient, sacred places   held me transfixed. Continuity of time flowed, like invisible honey, all around me. I wanted to taste it with my mind. Know it with all of my being. And one day, find the right words.

It's London, all the time, when at night I close my eyes, it's when and where I get to roam and dwell, in the city I know inside-out so well, where all the narrow streets and cobbled stones, teacups, pint glasses, and fresh scones, lend themselves into the misty English air, of London's ancient, yet so modern flair, of Piccadilly, and Hyde Park Corner's box, riding Black Cabs, or a big Red Double-Bus, evening gas-lamp walks with ol' Saucy Jack, fish and chips and shandys for a perfect snack; then the changing of The Guard at Buckingham, where native Cockney's and young mums with prams, gather for a view of Lizzy's Royal Family Show; but, my, how rich the April sun sets and does glow, over the rolling raging river Thames of yore, where ancient Roman armies marched to shore, proclaimed: LONDINIUM! -the regal rest, of civilised peoples and the Royal Crests, where lives and deaths would go and come, yet The City despite all odds has lost and won, in the hearts, souls and minds of all who take, great London as their true hearth and home to stake, and arise and fall the poet's versing nights and days, whilst Big Ben chimes his toll in the foggy haze; and alas, London from my slumber dissipates, to that of which I yearn and love, asleep or wake, knowing where my home of soul-keep lies divine: in London, my dear London; it's London, all the time. ______ London: http://beautyineverything.com/3366195864

It's London, all the time
The further I travel By time or land, Over the water, Through the air, The talk of home Snaps on my tongue, Telling strangers of comfort zones: Like sipping tea, With jam and scones, Yet now I sip the air alone, Thinking of our loose leaf tea, And the soda bread you baked for me.

Tea and Scones
There is nothing quite like a Caramel Apple Thumbprint Scone I bought two tonight, one for the road and one for home. Sometimes I buy one for me and one for Mum, Didn’t bother to tell her I ate them both…every… last… crumb. Tonight on my way home I decide to buy a baker’s dozen The trouble with that is I ate six and got an upset stomach Now here I sit upon this throne, tootin’ and thinking all alone That there’s nothing like a Caramel Apple Thumbprint Scone….hic!

Caramel Apple Thumbprint Scones
it's not me pushing you away except it actually is me it's the kind of morning that the wind is blowing just right so that the open flag flutters in front of the window where i can see it the kind of morning i don't need coffee and i try not to think about it too much *(i just wanted to be the girl in an owl city song)* pacing back and forth in straight lines and gritting my teeth against an onslaught of small town gunfire *(i'll bet annmarie never had scars or scratches brielle didn't cry and shake for hours thinking how to end it all it turned out okay for anna and vienna probably knew how to dance between the snowflakes and underneath her regret)* i've never been good at drowning out thoughts they just get louder the longer time rolls on good at rolling out cookie dough and good at drowning in dishwater when the brownie batter's baking and the bowl needs washing when nobody's looking *(i've had moments here and there in golden sneakers and navy blue lace covered dresses but i'm not the girl in an owl city song not something worth writing dreamy poems about not so lovestruck you replace your words with dada)* girls like me wear flannel khaki too much day old eyeliner too many day old scones have half heads of weird colored hair and spend valentines day alone watching tv so maybe why i'm bitter as the inside of a lemon is that i'll never be able to change to someone drenched in verbena spinning through the sunny skies between your fingers

Latte and scone please Henry said with jam and cream? the barista said no jam or cream Henry said just plain the barista said I like scones but I love them with cream and jam she looked at Henry plenty of cream he smiled yes cream has it's place I guess he said she poured his latte and placed a scone on a plate and took his money and gave him change yes sometimes cream makes it special she said smiling he carried his tray to his table and sat and stirred his latte and spooned off the top cream and eyed her as she served the following customer she was an Italian (the barista) who spoke good English and had the darkest of eyes and black curly hair the scone was good and he enjoyed each mouthful without jam or cream and he captured in mind the barista for his night-long dream.

HENRY'S NIGHT-LONG DREAM.
The Frog and The Bee and the Mouse with the House lived together in peace and harmony on the River Louse. One day the Mouse with the house did declare it was time that he moved out of there. The Frog and The Bee did not agree and set about convincing the Mouse with the House that he needed to stay on the River Louse. They sent out invitations to all around to attend tea at half past three. The tea party was in honour of the Mouse with the house to be held on the banks of the River Louse and hosted by his dear friends The Frog and The Bee. One by one each creature replied and the guest list rose quickly to Twenty Five. The Frog and The Bee decided the tea would be civil indeed and The Frog made some scones and The Bee made some honey. At half past one The Frog and The Bee set up some tables to lay out the tea. At half past two the tables were laid with the scones from The Frog and The honey The Bee had made. The scene did look grand, pots of tea and saucers of milk all laid on a tablecloth made of silk. At half past three the guests started to arrive. The first of the guests to arrive were The Elf with one ear and The Fly with one eye. The Mouse was delighted to see his friends, the ones who helped get Horse around the river bend. Next came the Horse and his Master of course to thank the Mouse with the House on the River Louse for his friendship and help on the day that the Horse could not get around the river bend and the Mouse with the House, The Elf with one ear, The Fly with one eye, The Frog and The Bee all pulled together and worked merrily to assist the Horse round the river course. One by one others did attend, there was a duck who lost his cluck but the Mouse with the House helped him every day until he could at last say "cluck cluck" Next came a ****** who had forgotten how to weave but the Mouse with the House lay out the sticks until the Beavers memory began to tick and the ****** remembered how to weave. Then came a beautiful Butterfly with bright red wings.  She told the Frog and The Bee that one day the Mouse had found her crying and sighing her wings had faded and she did not look grand a thing of beauty.  The Mouse ran back to his House and in his shed found a can that had Paint in Red on the side.  He took a brush and painted her wings and now the Butterfly all shiny and bright flapped her wings with all her might. Last but not least the Mayor arrived with his glorious wife by his side. Mayor and Mayoress Swan did agree that the Mouse with the House should not leave his friends of  The River Louse and they would indeed miss him dearly if he relocated his house. The Mouse smiled embarrassingly and said "I am sorry he did declare, there's been a mix up, when I said" I must get out of there" it was only to the shops I intended to go but The Frog and The Bee moved too fast or I moved to slow" The Frog and The Bee and all the guests were all delighted with the news and brought in some music supplied by "Five in a Pen" which of course were all mother Hens and they danced all night until the Moon went in and the Sun came out. Then the Frog and The Bee said to their friend the Mouse "let's do this again next year, and Mouse can bake cake for the tea, our friends can attend and we'll dance all night to Five in a Pen and we'll eat scones and honey and cake too and we'll do this in honour of all our friends and those who live and work on the River bend" THE END

winter has crept from it's cathedral with it's blue loom of white sod against black crows and over-coats. we awaken in our separate pause and modify our crumpets with thin icing, drizzled over moon faced scones - as golden as your marmoset of port wine and wrinkled wheels of cheese... at a moment's notice. you float through the open window where crescendo the crisp winds and the bacon fats rendering in the musk of firewood, oaking the nose of the decanted day the early hearth of heaven, now powder blushed and rustle thrum with skylarks larking in the luminous icebox of barely sunrise. your eyes sparkle and my antlers score the aspen bark on a lost acre of our thickening plot. we love a lot.

Autumn in New Zealand is a masterpiece on canvas Patternings of goldens and bright rose hips in their beds, Copses of coniferous in deep and darkly avenues To the brilliance of a country lane awash with leafy reds. Chimney fires are smoking in the rural country cottages The warming glow of lanterns in the windows as I pass, A tantalising whiff of hot buttered scones is wafting And somewhere in the distance I can hear a red deer bark. Strolling by the lakeside in the early morning stillness My breathing fogs before me in the chillness of the air, Rowan trees glow scarlet and the naked ***** willow Has shed her golden carpet on the emerald hillock there. Rushes rattle softly in the mistyness of lowlands Treeeferns in their glory of silver filagree, Sparrows ruffle feathers to insulate the coolness As wheeling flocks of starling mass to migrate to be free. Gossamer as fairy dust the thistledown is floating A harbinger of autumn leaves and freezing frost to come, Those Coriollis forces are determining the changeling Where the snowy days approaching means the Autumn tones are done. Marshalg 27 April 2013 In rural Pukekohe. New Zealand

Autumn in New Zealand
English tea and scones with cream.   A cigarette dangles from his lips.  The blonde-haired girl watches as the smoke rises.  Between them a newspaper sits upon the table.   They have stopped to peruse their purchases: The Bletchley code-breaker story always enthralls, and John Lennon never grows old. Smoke rings continue to rise, eventually to fade away .

We polished the brass door knocker And Swept the front door step When the Sailor came to tea We laid the table with our finest cloth And We set  the table with the prettiest fine bone china When the Sailor came to tea We served scones with jam and cream And We made sandwiches of all shapes and sizes When the Sailor came to tea We invited our relatives from afar And We invited our friends too When the Sailor came to tea We served Champagne with lots of fizz And We served Orange juice too When the Sailor came to tea We talked about interesting things of the day And We danced to, the beat of the latest music When the Sailor came to tea We felt the love in the room And We felt the love in our hearts When the Sailor came to tea I was delighted to be there As You see it had been 4 long years since  my brother the Sailor last came to tea

Angry looking man, Stressing over his weak coffee, Makes him feel vulnerable, Caffeine helps him dictate, As sharp as his suit, Lessened by his gait, Waitress not impressed, His twitching brings her nausea, The smell of coffee, Affecting her hangover, Public toilet looks appealing, No time for tissue, The new lovers, one wears a ring, The other wants his wife's, His money appeals, He drives a fiat, Full of bravado, Is silenced at home, Crying child, False smile hides mothers stress, Child irritated by coffee house walls, Grandmother knows best, New methods to raise, As flat as the coffee house scones, Elderly man sitting with his paper, Keeping warm, Same drink is now cold, Watching the world go by, David Attenborough in his head, Two weeks to live, And I’m happier than them all.

Coffee House Walls
Off to 'The Orchard' for afternoon tea Beautiful and quaint, filled with history Rupert Brooke, the poet, started the trend Taking tea in the garden 'til the days end Virginia Woolf, a writer, with a troubled mind Enjoyed the bonds of friendship with a group so kind It goes as far back as the year 1897 Cambridge students found a pocket of heaven Blossoming fruit trees arranged in rows Scattered seating, cushions and colourful throws Crumbling moist Scones with jam and cream Carrot Cake and Cordial an Elderberry dream Horses in the distance and cows by your side Cool Emerald grass where the insects hide A wander by the river hand in hand The most peaceful day that ever was planned I visited The Orchard yesterday, a most gorgeous place. I hope this poem gives you a picture of this idyllic little corner of England x

A Corner of England
She whispers something to him, my name uttered under guarded breath, He disappears then returns with pills in his hand that i ought to swallow, I oblige. We spend an evening together with floating minds, And busy hands. I brought round two types of cheese for us, She had a third So we made scones, Triple cheese scones, And discussed the state of our lives. In the lounge lyric-less music spills out from a speaker, And they sit around adsorbed by the melodies. He stands and goes to the ***** One they found for fifty bucks in a second hand store. He presses a key and listens to it joining the notes already airborne. Another stands and joins him. They play along with the music, Making it up as they go, The third bangs his hands on the table, a make do drum set. We remember our baking in time, And it is not burnt when we take it from the oven. The boys leave their music and join us in eating.
