TROUBLE.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Trouble.

 

Macaroon sky,
white-ruffled and fluffed
like meringue pie
stirred to spoilt crumble.

 

Piebald twilight
mauve-caught and greying
like grains of rye
simmered in storm paint.

 

Mottled bleak shore
dun-dry and sleet-slaked
like stew over-stored
gale brews, trouble-laden

      Glad I have blue sky over head, but I'll think of you next time it's like this! Won't be long in sure 😉

            Awe - -well I thought I would make it a bit tasty today - - macaroon skies might make that stew of storm more endurable methought. Thanks a big slice for your lovely comment Nev.

              Picture and poem, one and the same, captured in word form just as beautiful and also threatening. A great write Fay. Enjoyed it immensely.

              THANKS FAY FOR A LOVELY PIC 'N POEM ! I loved te POEM based not only on colour but also culinary delights ! I teach Catering Science but there are not many Poems on Food ! The food you worked into your Poetic Tapestry were some of my Favourites ! Macaroons ~ Merangue Pie ~ Crumble ~ Rye (Bread) and Stew (Irish !) A Poem never tasted so so good !
              Blessings & Love in the Spirit
              Brian & Angela 🧡🧡🧡🧡

              If i put on my rain gear in Cornwall then i know the wind will get me instead.
              Brave men who put to sea under those leadened skies.
              Brrrrrrrrr !
