Lemon Meringue Tart

My estranged heart has been crowned with 

whipped clouds where songs are hummed in 

murmurring moments when you appear with 

your usual extraordinary Smile and Sea green eyes  

so deeply framed in Blue... 

I knew that it was only a matter of time when 

my heart would melt and the Sun would go down...

Sea green eyes with blue. Captivating, mesmerising and with smiles too. That lemon meringue tart with its whipped clouds sounds very tempting. Shall we have a large slice with an English cuppa Pat, and sit and talk it over in your garden. Love this poem.

dearest Chris... lemon meringue tart by the garden gate ... heaven can wait... I have a special “flowered cup” just for you.. have you ever seen the under-breast of a Morning Dove as it flies just above our head... gorgeous soft white feathers... and Red Cardinals galore... half past Tea would be the perfect Thyme. Thanks for sipping by the Willow tree... tenderly, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

Dear Pat I have returned to read you again. I have been looking for a new poetic feast from your pen and the cupboard is bare of new pastries , so I have helped myself to another slice of your lemon meringue tart and hope you will join me on my covered deck for tea soon. Sending you and yours all good wishes from across the pond. Keep safe and well. It is a beautiful autumn morning here.

dearest Chris... you have inspired me... and I thank you ever so much. After having a lot of rain, we are now having sunny days that are very Cool, as Autumn slips silently away, but Pumpkins are surviving for Thanksgiving. We always have a Cornucopia of blessings at this time of year... joining you in an early morning English Cop of Tea. With love across the Pond. Pat

Green is the rarest color of eyes and it seems to be possessed by some of the rarest and most special people; certainly those I have encountered in my own life, including my wife and my father. I enjoyed this poem. Lovely write. F.

dearest Fabian... lovely to read your review so early in Thanksgiving morning on the east coast of the 🇺🇸 USA... Yes, extraordinary folks have sea green eyes where Oceans 🌊 lie in fathoms deep... we weep with pure passion when we are blessed with their presence. Enjoy your Cornucopia of Autumn Harvest. tenderly, Pat

We celebrated Thanksgiving over a week ago. And it was a great meal too. Just sitting home today while others travel and celebrate. Avoiding the crowds by thinking ahead..after all, every day is Thanksgiving to me. :)

[Patricia Wedel]

Yes.. every day we count our blessings for friends and family and food on the Table.. “Faith, Hope and Charity... but the greatest of these is 💕 love”. Bless you and yours. gently, Pat

[Andrew Nelson Stewart]

Very moving and the use of metaphors are unique in a way of putting you someplace where you can relate how heart are maudlin organism that can completely put you in a trance. In the line " My estranged heart has been crowned with
whipped clouds where songs are hummed in." Simply put and beautifully penned. Keep writing sincerely your friend in life and poetry :)

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Andrew Nelson... I am a novice and writing what comes naturally. I appreciate your review.
gently,Pat

My mum made a yummy lemon meringue pie, still can see it, the softness of the meringue and that delicious lemon taste. You write truly of love Pat.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Andrew... my Mother also made the most delicious and beautiful lemon meringue pies. She was a culinary artist in so many ways. God rest her soul. gently, Pat

John dear ... 💕 lovely to read your words... my muse and I become entangled in the romance that dances across the sky.
Wishing you a blessed Saturday as Autumn lingers for awhile. Stay safe and well. gently, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

Hello dear Pat and I loved the poem.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A lovely, descriptive romantic piece of pie I see here before me. I simply adore lemon meringue, could eat loads and 'love' doing so!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear John... there are days when we need a soothing touch of lemon to navigate the by-ways of highway men and women who would take our whipped meringue to the edges of the Universe. It is a curse.
gently, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Sorry John... it is not a curse, but gives us direction at a Cross-Roads. Be blessed and Happy Thanksgiving... 🍁 Pat

dearest Gene... when blue green eyes capture a smile... the world becomes a voyage of stormy nights and days of whipped clouds on lemon meringue tarts... I am indebted to your sighs. tenderly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Gene... wishing you a Heart full of memories... as our feathered friends sing 🎶 “Bringing in the Sheaves” in this Thanksgiving morning. You are in our heart and prayers. The last leaves 🍁 of Autumn scatter and a Cornucopia of memories is set before us ... 💕 love and blessings abound.
tenderly, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

yes .. thank you so much Pat. Hope to be sipping at the Cafe' a bit more ... this morning my head is clearing a bit ... plus i had a problem with a shared IP apparently .. and have been banned from the site .. I finally got in touch with Charlie (God bless him) and this should be made right again. you are a marvelous and beautiful soul Pat .. i see you lilting and fliting about your home and life ....like Tom Bombadil's and his bride Goldenberry ;)

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Gene... as a poet, we live in fear of offending someone... even in real life, it can happen. I must learn more about "Tom Bombadil's and his bride Goldenberry". May the "force" be with you. truly, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

He is from "The Hobbit" or one of the Trilogy .. i was instantly enchanted by him and his bride..the movies didn't do them justice but the book does ;)

[Patricia Wedel]

Interesting Gene... years ago, Roger and I took turns reading a Hobbit Book to each other. Now that is Romance... lol. Pat 🍒

[Einstein Noodle]

yes it is .. great story .. mighty fine writing .. my kids all read them all .. several times.

[T.S. Ulmus]

If only see green eyes surrounded by blue could fall upon one as lovely as you. If only that gaze could create the days so perfect and true. If only...

It moved me, good write.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest T.S. to be moved is quite like the sea green ocean waves that caress the gentle thoughts with lemon meringue dreams. tenderly, Pat

[emmajoy]

Love is found in such delicious thoughts and picturesque moments, never forgotten, always held close to one's heart. Gentle thought, fine words, dear Petal.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Em... lovely morning here where an Autumn day will have a Chill... but my favorite Cardinals will be at the Feeder to fortify their flight. Be blessed and think of a bright Red Pomegranate beside a Cinnamon Candle where inspiration abides with the Sunrise and we will share our hopes for the future in waves across the Pond.
diligently I share your thoughts beyond a doubt. Affectionately, Petal x

[emmajoy]

' ... we will share our hopes for the future in waves across the Pond.. ' We certainly will, dear lady Best everything to you and Roger, of course. xx
