Life's Pleasures I

\\ // Life-sapped, in late afternoon heat, felt and dried straw-tongue emancipates from dehydration slurping on the creamy smooth Plush richness of fuchsia dome Lush in blushing strawberries Elevated hydration soothes Added coolness so sweet Served in a crispy dish Upon the taste buds Races life anew Exquisite vice Stimulating Ice cream !!!!! 6/29/2022

Susan, I love the strawberry shape of your poetic creation, it must have taken ages to form it so well! Love your ode to a strawberry ice cream repose on a hot summer day. Life's pleasures, indeed!
