NaPoWriMo 2020 - Day 1



Baking Vegan Lemon Drizzle Cake
(In the time of Corona)


Pre heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
Oil a 1lb loaf tin and line it with baking parchment.
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and lemon zest in a bowl…

Shit no lemons in the fruit bowl.
Over ripe bananas chide me.
“Waste not want not in times of Corona”.

Imagining the war time spirit of my Nana’s.
Who’d counsel when life gives you no lemons, make no drizzle,
Or you can’t cry over un-spilled juice.

Instead I make banana bread
With chocolate chips, comfort, frugality and making do.
All in one loaf tin.

Napowrimo 2018 / Day 1 - Only She Can Judge Me

Club, Auction, Law, Symbol, Judge, Legal

Napowrimo Day 1 / 2018

Prompt - A Guilty Secret Poem

Only She Can Judge Me

There are worse secrets
Still people are shocked
When I confess
I really, really like...

A diminutive realityTV star
Whose wisdom shines far
Surely Solomon reborn
In the TV courtroom genre

Endless streams of litigants
Seek binding arbitration
Over such foul and heinous acts
Dodgy prom gowns, loans owing

Pets attack, who should pay
The mounting ER bill
Whose fault the fender bender
Fear not all will be revealed

Her pithy quips fall from her lips
Defendants are left raging
When Judge Judy exclaims
"Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining"
