Ice Cream Grief
I dig my spoon into the face of a glacier
in the Alps, pry loose a chunk
and slide it between my lips
The sweet vanilla snow melts
over my tongue,
grainy with chocolate scree,
and clods of cookie dough
crumble in my teeth
Again and again
until my hot heart
freezes
This is a Friday Flash 55. If you want to tell a story in exactly 55 words, post it and go tell the host with the most, the G-Man.

An ice cream glacier....They would find me frozen to death with a smile on my face. Excellent 55.
great imagery - and grief or no grief, I could go for some of that ice cream right about now.
Loved your 55!
Love the beauty of this. A glacier sweetened on nature, supped by you to soften and tender a heart. (Hugs)Indigo
oh wow - wow - wow - what a power-55!!
I think perhaps it's the diet coming to grief after eating that ice cream glacier. But, oh my, it so sounds worth it!
Okay, now I want some dessert!
You make the ice cream sound like it's evil. Left-over emotions from yesterday?
This really made me want an Ice cream, yet there's more to these 55 words, much more.
love the sweetness of ice cream.
Happy Saturday!
I can taste it.
BTW, I am so excited for you, congratulations, Chris. (A little solomon told me you won a contest!)
love,
Di
This is gorgeous, especially loved the last three lines. Oh, and the ice cream reference. I *LOVE* ice cream! :)
Great 55!

What fantastic imagery! And, now, I want ice cream.
Wonderful metaphor! If only I had a glacier in my freezer, I'd grab a spoon.
Refreshing, tactile and a sensual delight. I love tasting poetry, this one set chills up and down my spine on a hot summer day.
Well crafted 55er,
Joanny
Can anyone EVER resist this temptation??? Not me!! I am WAITING for morning to happen!! :) Cuz there's no ice cream at home, AND I WANT ICE CREAM!!!! :D
Deliciously written, my friend..
Yummy 55, Chris, I can just feel my tongue twirling around a spoonful of Chunky Monkey and that makes me happy.
You made something so huge into something we all can dig into and who doesn't like ice cream!
Here I am, better late than never!
Ohhh, this sounds delicious. :)
Especially in weather like this.
Yum!
P.S. My Friday 55 was posted here yesterday. I'm just now getting around to visiting everyone. :)
This was nice....sorry, I need to go get some ice cream. :)
We used to make snow cream--adding a shot of vanilla extract and some chocolate sprinkles. It was yummy.
