August Flavor

Peach
ice cream
melts over
sticky fingers
midday rays nourish
summer sweetness
blossoming
luscious
Peach.

This brings back happy childhood memories! I hadn't thought of peach ice cream in years.... but it used to be our regular summer treat! ;)

I can't find it anywhere - there is a lite 'peaches and cream' one I found, but it's not the same :(

Great Ninette - mine is a little sombre but a true story, yours is very cute - well penned Michelle - proud of my uncle however, very old and drank all his life, is a widower and lives on his own and decided he would be a lot healthier if he stopped drinking! Hugs, Jennifer.
