We who with songs beguile your pilgrimage / And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die, / We Poets of the proud old lineage / Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why ... (James Elroy Flecker)

Summer Love #4: Ice Cream … Troiku


Ice Cream … Troiku










Source haiku:

snow fall in belly
adding lusciousness to feast 
vanilla ice cream


My troiku:

snow fall in belly
the splash of sudden cold
painfully welcome

adding lusciousness to feast
slow licking tongue
circles the cone

vanilla ice cream
the most cooling of all
for the child in me
Written for day 4 of 'Summer Love' at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

    One can become a child again with such treats, even if only for a moment.
