Hello my wonderful poetry people,
This week over at
we were looking at food poetry.Your Writing Prompt For This Week
Writing ‘poetry about food’ might feel a bit broad, so in order to focus our attention I wondered if we might write some poetry about a favourite food this week. Or at least a poem that contains a favourite food, it wouldn’t of course need to be about said food. Nor, necessarily, your favourite. A food that we could happily obsess over, perhaps.
As always, if you’d rather just dive on in to a full banquet then tuck your napkin under your chin and get started.
I had a few ideas and wrote a few notes and some poems, I experimented with form to trying out a couple of haikus too. Not my favourite form but enjoyable to play around with. I love tea, I drink galloooooons every day. It has to be made in a teapot, of course, a mixture of English breakfast tea and Earl Grey, milk yes, sugar no. In a mug not a teeny tiny teacup that is gone in 5 sips (pointless for me).

the sweet amber brew within
steams hot liquid love
Tell me what you think. I’d love to know and get some feedback.
Till next time, peeps.
If you have enjoyed my ramblings I’d love for you to click the ❤️. It pleases the social algorithm, lets others know there’s something interesting here, as well as letting me know you liked it and giving me a little virtual hug. Without virtual hugs I have been know to get sad 😜. Shares are good too and a comment buoys me up even more 😁 A comment of what you liked, what you didn’t etc would be most gratefully appreciated.
I really like stout, sweet, steams. That alliteration is so pleasing x
Hey Tamsin, I love how similar sweet and steams sound to tea. Very close to rhyming but still rolls off the tongue. I might have to make a haiku on spaghetti now lol! Thank you so much for posting this! Your newsletter is awesome by the way! Just subscribed! :)
