I wrote this short poem as a tribute to ice cream, my newest obsession. I've been eating ice cream almost every day lately and I LOVE IT. This started out as a simple ode to the sweet treat, but ended up as a much more serious life-and-death situation ;)
Unbearable heat
Sweating and panting
Oppressive, smothering
Bright exhaustive scorching sun
Eyelids close
Soft death
--And then--
In your hands, joy,
Sweet, sugary, cold joy
Lick the heavenly cream
Pure, untouched goodness
Catch the cool drips
Then the sweet crunch
Sticky smiles
Soft relief
