Cold Shoulder

Chocolate ice cream, you've been waiting,
But my temptation is abating..
I've laid to rest the chocolate ooze,
Today, there's another one I choose.
Sending regards to both bean and cow,
Caramel crunch is my main squeeze now.

This was light poetry, the kind that makes me hungry. Or maybe I was hungry when I wrote it.

Instead of chocolate ice cream, you have decided to switch over to Carmel crunch. It sounds delicious.

I've been enjoying quite an amount of ice cream, so my next poem might be about Ozempic. I'm glad you enjoyed my poem.

It has a lot of character, is energetic, and is fun to read. The rhyme structure is easy to follow, and the playful dichotomy between caramel and chocolate is a nice touch. Amazing work, Hilda!

I love it! It's playful, lighthearted, and full of personality. The rhyme scheme flows smoothly, and the contrast between chocolate and caramel adds a fun, almost mischievous tone—like a delicious betrayal. "Sending regards to both bean and cow" is especially clever! It feels like a whimsical breakup poem with a sweet (literally) twist.
