Melts To Taste

rainbow colors chilled..
                                               warm fingers touch the cool sides..
                                                      my tongue melts to taste..

A lot of action going on in the haiku! Love how your warm fingers caused the....tongue melts to taste. Great ...p..a..u..s..e.......I f I am not mistaken, you don't capitalize anything..? I always seek aid from Miss Debbie on anything regarding Haiku....or Charles. :) Could we rename your haiku?...".Hey, Let's Get Mikey!!" ha ha. Remember the Life cereal commercial.
