After a tedious trek along the rugged path On a humid sunny afternoon With no cool shade to rest under The thought of an ice cream came to mind That made my mouth drool I longed for a cone of cream Blended with strawberries, Sprinkled with nuts and almonds A delectable sundae, Dressed in pink and white As I desperately looked for, My favourite frozen treat Wow, there came an ice cream vendor With a four wheeled cart trundling along! From him I bought one waffle cone, Filled with large scoops of fluffy cream As its delicious strawberry flavour, Invaded my tongue Oh, it was heaven! I felt its infinite smoothness, As the texture of satin or silk, Soaking my parched mouth. With my taste buds waltzing on my palate, It slid down through my gullet And its creamy sweetness Sent thrills down my throat Cooling my thummy and beating the heat. This delectable dish is too yummy to resist No wonder, to get ice cream, children scream! June.22.2022 Ice Cream Poetry Contest Sponsor- Julia Ward

Dearest Valsa, I adore this delicious delight! Your pen spills with wondrous imagery and metaphorical beauty; "As its delicious strawberry flavour, / Invaded my tongue" and "With my taste buds waltzing on my palate" - your artistry captures the thrilling taste and sensation of ice cream on a humid sunny afternoon. Who can resist? Now I want ice cream too! :) Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you, my sweet friend.. ~Susan
