ICE CREAM CASTLES IN THE AIR

Spring Fever! Falling in love with YOU … again! <3

 

“...stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot oftener, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. ”

 

― Robert J. Hastings, Tinyburg Tales

 

 

See YOU soon! ; 0))))

SPRING FEVER - ELVIS PRESLEY

 

SWEET ANTICIPATION

 

Remembering that sweet anticipation

of childhood desires for sun and ice-cream

I never really understood until now

how far away it seems to be

 

Sitting in a small café I can feel the expectations

of every child who wants an ice-cream

on this sunny, happy day

warm; replete surrounded by such pleasant company

 

I beckon to the waitress

who clears our plates away

and even though I'm already full

from paté on toast; chutney and salad; serendipity

 

provides a glimpse of heaven on the menu

I order up lemon meringue ice-cream with two spoons

new on the menu it deserves a ballad of it's own

little pieces of pie that melt in my mouth so delightfully

 

lemony; creamy in a crystal dish

fluted for ease of spoonful movements

scoops of delightful deliciousness

washed down with ice-cold cafe latte

 

that is nowhere near as sweet

after my taste buds have been led astray

by that succulent dessert; oh, what a treat

I feed my face a few more morsels greedily

 

I stop before I eat too much

it's better to savour culinary delights in small doses

less is more, especially when it comes to food

too much would spoil and lessen it's exquisite rarity

 

The small boy stands still awaiting his turn

his eyes fixed on the strange blue ice-cream treat

later I asked and discovered it was called Bubblegum

if we could taste the sky would that it would taste so dreamy.
