Sky in the Pie!

I am searching for some inspiration! Please help me breathe some energy into my dormant creative life - it seems to have been swallowed up by the minutiae of work, parenthood and life in general. If you have any ideas, please post your comments.

In the meantime, since 2009 seems to have been a challenging year for everyone , I thought this poem by Roger McGough might resonate with some of the souls out there...

Sky in the Pie!

Waiter, there’s a sky in my pie
Remove it at once if you please
You can keep your incredible sunsets
I ordered mincemeat and cheese

I can’t stand nightingales singing
Or clouds all burnished with gold
The whispering breeze is disturbing the peas
And making my chips of all cold

I don’t care if the chef is an artist
Whose canvases hang in the Tate
I want two veg. and puff pastry
Not the Universe heaped on my plate

OK I’ll try just a spoonful
I suppose I’ve got nothing to lose
Mm...the colours quite tickle palette
With a blend of delicate hues

The sun has a custardy flavour
An the clouds are as light as air
And the wind a chewier texture
(With an hint of cinnamon there?)

The sky is simply delicious
Why haven’t I tried it before?
I can chew my way through Eternity
And still have room left for more

Having acquired a taste of the Cosmos
I’ll polish the sunset off soon
I can’t wait to tuck into the night sky
Waiter! Please bring me the Moon!
