Summer Sweetness

Ice cream was melting so the picture is not the best!  
The picture was taken well after the poem was written so there may be some discrepancies:  no chocolate dip but chocolate chips; hard ice cream not soft.............

            ~~~~~

Ice cream cones with 
soft, sweetness 
nestled deep in a waffle cone,
dipped and coated in luscious chocolate escaping down big or little hands on a summer’s day is unlike anything else. 
Such exotic deliciousness 
eases any worry 
with no thought of nourishing 
anything other than childhood innocence,
and decades long tender memories 
escaped but retrieved by that cold sweetness.
(Rumour has it that some
do not share the joy of ice cream.
No proof. Don’t believe it.)

“Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of 
having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone.”
~ Jim Fiebig
