Sweet Cherry Pie

Today sounds like

another eating day…

another dessert day…

but, I’m a little unsure

of just what it is

 I am supposed to be eating.

  Cherry Cobbler… 

I figured it’s an American dessert –

and I am right!

(so smart!)

But, what else –

and don’t say “it has cherries”! 

OK… it’s a deep dish pie.

  It has a thick upper crust,

made from scones

and is filled with…

…cherries! 

While it is cooking,

 the fruit often simmers up

and breaks through cracks

 in the scone pastry. 

The juices caramelise,

 which covers the cobbler

 in a sweet syrup. 

 It sounds like

it would be great

on a wintery night,

smothered in melting ice-cream.

Today would be a good day

 for me to cook

my first cobbler!

Other cobblers would be

    filled with other fruits.
