Ice Cream

The house is quiet...

I finished work early today.

No reply as I hollered "I'm home".

It's 1:00 PM  under a sunny sky.

Gonna pull out a deck chair and chill awhile.

Listen to the buzzing of insect and motor,

and have myself some Ice Cream.

Author's Note

...a very sweet vice.

My Dear Writing Friend,
I have not heard a poem about ice cream ever, what a novel approach to an addiction us Alaskans have as we eat per capita more ice cream than the lower forty-nine. Your poem placed me there with you in a deck chair, listing to the drone of bugs and traffic, slowly under a perfect Alaskan sky enjoying my favorite flavor, vanilla. A excellent fun poem.

Blessings, Laughing-Bear

I am not that crazy for ice cream, but the title attracted me. However, I love date nut bars. I used to make them in the middle of the night and save some for myself, in a tin behind all of those things that no one touches, except the one who makes the goodies. LOL! We all deserve a nice quiet treat, now and again. I liked this write and know the feeling behind it!

I love ice cream, I'll join you, can't resist an invitation for ice cream. I think I'll go sit outside, listen to the birds, watch the butterflies, enjoy the peace and the sweetness.

Ahhhh, this was one I could so easily relate too! How enjoyable is a quiet summering moment to just sit and sigh.. and devour ice cream.. Ok.. now I must see what's in the freezer!

I just had a bowl myself. Ice cream, some time in the sun. What more could a man ask for on a nice afternoon? Well written John.
