Poetry About Ice Cream
Poetry about ice cream finds delight in the simple ceremony of sweetness: cones, spoons, sticky hands, summer sidewalks, freezer light, birthdays, and the bright permission of a treat.
Ice cream melts quickly, which is part of its wisdom. Some joys ask to be received before they disappear.

Corner Shop
A poem about a summer cone.
The corner shop
opened its freezer
like a treasure chest.
I chose strawberry,
and the afternoon
turned pink
around my hands.

Melting
Joy that must be enjoyed now.
The cone began melting
before the first bite
was finished.
Some happiness
teaches urgency
without fear.

Birthday Scoop
Ice cream as celebration.
One candle,
one scoop,
one wish
held between
sugar and breath.
The room clapped
for another year.
