This is not a simple cherry, but more a parfait, or a prize winning pie.

Absolutely wonderful !

Thanks for your delicious comment Maggie :)

Another wonderfully descriptive piece from you

Jenny.

Thanks Jenny.

very well expressed Maggy- an enjoyable read. It would have taken me one simple line to say what you did so poetically with so many wonderful images..what an imagination. Another belter..

Oh Maggy- I have had to cancel- sorry. I am having trouble with my feet, consequently can hardly walk. I will really miss seeing you all..but I hope to come another time... Have a lovely evening..

I'm so sorry to hear that Pia, I hope you get better soon and we will most definitely meet!

Thanks Maggy. I am sure we will ;)

Brilliant, as always. What is an Ikea constellation?

a piece of furniture bought from IKEA. Although they're supposed to be easy to set up I always find them rather complex, especially when they' have screws and things missing.

Another one I have enjoyed maggV.
A worthy cherry indeed.

thanks!

You have a clever knack for painting pictures with words, but this poem has as much of an emotional (and even cerebral) quality that makes me rethink what I've just read long after turning away from the screen.

This poem speaks of common decency more than love.

my toes curled around the idea of
matrimonial bliss as you drove my hips into the

I really like this line. It says so much and turns the poem around into a world of hurt.

brilliant.

The lack of punctuation really works in this poem, Maggy. There are so many wonderful images - especially the one of ink and hopscotch! Well done on the cherries!

Hi! Maggy, that was a quick answer.
Well not cooked for a while?
Good get out even if on my own.

Then weighing extra ingredients, press
again may gone on ounces, be different weight!
But it was lined loaf tin, they call it,tip mixture
in, only went quarter way, no rise! I always use S.R flour self raising. Should have come half way up, but

about your country interesting hear.
Never been abroad, won't fly.
take care julie xx

Absolutely wonderful. Left my mouth in a perfect 'O' with amazement - how you set a scene with so little words astounds me, it really does. This is probably one of my favourites of yours and I don't say that lightly, because everything you write is equally as vivid and stunning but it's such brilliant, brilliant stuff. 'Other-level' writing and I loved it - go Maggy! ;)

Rachel, as always you have painted a permanent smile on my face. Thank you so much!

They ought to have a special cupcake under those cherries for Maggy poems. Always first rate.
