This is absolutely delicious! It also works for vegans with a tin of black beans added before the cheese. And then Parmesan as well for the non- vegans. Mmmm

Selected Early Writings of the Poets
 

I

the roses are red
and all the violets are blue
oh look, a haiku

- Basho

II

Roses are red,
unlike those daffs,
I wander lonely
as a giraffe cloud.

- William Wordsworth
 
III

Look – the roses are red!
They make my heart sing!
They fill me with hope –
Like a feathery thing!

- Emily Dickinson

IV

ROSES ARE … NO!
WHAT HAVE I DONE?
I MUST HAVE LEFT
MY CAPS LOCK ON

- ee cummings

V

Roses are dead,
see how they droop.
All of us die:
life’s only truth.

- Philip Larkin

VI

The roses had gone
(unlike my bunion)
so got this instead –
here, have an onion.

- Carol Ann Duffy

                                 Brian Bilston

If you’re struggling to write a poem for a loved one for Valentine’s Day, take heart: even the great poets had to start somewhere.

If you're up early tomorrow morning for some reason, this is your reminder that the UK has a brilliant pass of the International Space Station, which passes overhead about 6.07am (check timings for where you are at heavens-above.com). Worth pointing out to anyone small who has woken you up...
