Best Ice Cream Poems

''Like Ice Cream''

Having ice cream with you, 
Brightens the entire portrait in my youth.
Like catnip for a cat 
-- the     Reese's    fun never stops!
Like monkeys in a zoo, above a tasty sherbet treetop.

Ice Cream with you!
How sweet, ...

In times gone by, in a land of dreams,
Where childhood thrived with laughter and gleams,
A story unfolded, enchanting and true,
Of mirthful times and dreams that grew.

In a quaint little town, where joy ran rife, 
There stood an ice cream truck, full of life.
With its jingling...

Out in the sun
ice cream runs down
someone’s sad face

Fun will begin
once again, when
the chin is clean,

A few more dimes
just in time, will
buy nine more cones! 
 
Ice cream for all
as we sprawl, in
the shawl of shade

the ice cream truck

do you remember in fourth grade when it was the end of the school year?
kids running around in class, volunteer parents planning for field day events, teachers grading tests.
a year's worth of crafts and colorful displays filled the walls like wallpaper.

Vanilla bean skin,
Cool sweet breath and cherry lips
Make kissing dessert....

As you open the door...
you are momentarily transported
back to an innocent child like state.
Your concentration wavers 
as your senses react like a 4th of July
firework display.
Large, colorful posters cover the walls
surrounding you...
offering tasty descriptions of many of the items.
All the while the scents of chocolate,...

Summer comes and goes with this guy's timely presence
The kids chase after the van much as dogs after a cat
Elusive though he is, we swear to run him down
For a few simple dollars money does buy happiness

His age old chimes ring the friendly bells 
A...

Got an ice cream cone in one hand
While typing with the other
Why does ice cream make us seniors
Beg for another and another!

Isn't ice cream only for kiddies?
Wow! That's surely not the case
Old folks can down a chocolate sundae
Beg for more with a messy face!

Maybe it...

Today it was so hot
I had a Haagen-Dazs
ice cream bar

Three minutes later
I went back
to the Korean deli
and this time
I had a Twix
ice cream bar

If you are counting 
that's two ice cream bars
in a matter of minutes...

Dish held my sugar cone
Ice cream of plump strawberries they were not alone
Sunny afternoon this was sweet when I was young
Hushed my talking tongue.

You swear your word is solid
as a silver serving spoon
Well, why does it always feels like
another mis-spoken dog day afternoon
		Hotter than July
in the middle of June
		Cast iron sky
	making fainting hearts swoon
Butter pecan words
all dressed up in their Sunday best lie
Preaching our turn to live the...

Got an ice cream cone in one hand
While typing with the other
Why does ice cream make us seniors
Keep on begging for another!

Isn't ice cream only for kiddies?
Wow! That's surely not the case
Seen old folks down a chocolate sundae
Beg for more with a messy face!

It was the Main Street hangout for the teenagers of its day.
For a nickel they could dream as they heard the jukebox play!
Wispy white metal chairs surrounded tables topped with glass.
(There were secluded booths where lads could woo their lass!)

From the tin covered ceiling hung...

It’s dreadful, a disaster, it’s a terrible calamity
Housewives going frantic for the thing they seek but cannot see
Supermarket workers helping those who shout the most
Try their best to find a jar of spread to spread on toast

But all the angry faces glaring at the empty...

"The Vanilla Ice Cream Knights and The Raspberry Queen"



"You’ve been spooning
too much Vanilla Icecream”, 
she advised the buffoon

all the feathery self-blustering chirpers 
parted way, she had loaded guns
she positively glided into the room

“Diamonds my old bean,” she grinned,

“have no use for vanilla or rocky road...
