oooh luscious ide cream! You can have the strawberry ...I ll take the rest of the feast. Hard to stop when I get started on that stuff, esp vanilla! so I try not to get started. I haven't entered any contests of late. Seem to have plenty too much to do. Good luck in the contest Carolyn. Hope your're having a ball.

Great poem, Carolyn! Good luck in the contest. You know, I am learning a lot about haiku, through an expert in this form on the "Haiku Ink" group on facebook, and we are not necessarily well informed about this form of poetry on most poetry site. Having said that I still enjoyed reading your work, makes me want an vanilla ice cream right now. :) Love, Caroline.
