Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
That ripe flat peaches are for sale on Green Lanes
is surely a reason to celebrate?
A small boy's excuse (with apologies to William Carlos Williams)
Mum, I've eaten
the peaches
that were
in the fridge
and which
you were probably
saving
for dessert
Sorry Mum
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold.

Just so long as no boomtown rat tags his daughter after them -
but so much depends
upon
filling
your red wheel
barrow with those ripe
peaches glazed with ice
cream
if you keep hungry
white chickens
or insatiable
kids

Sunset orbs of ripe

I know they're not orbs but spheroid wouldn't scan.

These in the picture are from Arista but I'm sure most of the usual grocers have them. I bought my first ones from the little shop on St Ann's Road

We got a big bowlful for a pound from one of the market traders off Wood Green High Road last Saturday about 5pm as they were getting ready to pack up for the day.

Have had two bags in the last week from Yasar Halim. The plums are also very good at the moment.

We have only just over the cherries glut, not sure I can cope with peaches yet.
Anyone who likes playing with poetry like this, read Love that Dog! Is described as a kids book but is just wonderful even for an adult.
