PHOTOGRAPHY AND POEMS

WORD BLINDNESS

What is this novel dish I see?

The menu offers “Applepie”

I know in sewing you can say

“This pattern uses appliqué”

Though not the sort of thing you’d wish

To find, when dining, in a dish.

Perhaps it’s Greek (we are in Crete)?

The marvel’s listed as a sweet

Below such things as “lemon cake”

So might it be some tart they bake?

Just then you should have seen my face

As suddenly the missing space

Became apparent to my eye –

A plain, bog standard, “Apple pie”.
