Ice Cream Day

Sticky vanilla drips over his tiny pinky. Rainbow sprinkled lips smile gratitude. His face dodges mother`s attempt to destroy his delight. The waffle softens in his palm, Teeth clenched,he devours soggy leftovers. It is a global warming sort of Ice cream day.

Thanks for allowing me to smile with this one. Creative view on an ordinary event--one most readers will relate to. Love the thought of "Rainbow sprinkled lips." Keep on writing. Thank you for your kind comment on my poem. Karen

My major weakness! If it weren't for ice cream, I'd still be able to see my feet. Vince
