Icecream

ICECREAM

                     Recollecting childhood memories
                       of scarlet red strawberries
                          still I rejoice to voice my story,
                            I will narrate slowly not in hurry,
                           while I could relish a dish of icecream
                                daily at afternoon not in dream
                                but a story of real theme.
                                
                 Those enjoyable holidays spent with Grandma
                       where Greenery was the panorama,
                        At her place my snack at afternoon was fixed
                                   as a dish full icecream mixed
                               with pieces of strawberries
                                            in series 
                                   fresh from her garden.
                                       not from Sweden.

                       Sweet taste buds of my tongue too eager to lick, 
                                          also to pick
                           pieces of strawberries one by one.
                               while watching sinking Sun.
                                      
                                      Juicy delicious 
                                       most precious
                                 beverage for a girl of nine:
                      Icecream and strawberries combined.
