Ice Drops and Candy Pops

July 1, 2010ishabelle

Burning heat, scorching sun
Taking out all of the fun
Of a beautiful summer day
As lazy hours pass away.

Sweat, clothes, to the skin, they stick
Shy away from the camera’s click.
My face, covered in oil and dust,
But endure the summer heat, I must.

Yet from afar I could clearly see
Colors that brighten up the day for me
Pink, Orange, Yellow and Blue
And many different flavors too.

Taste, so delicious and delightful
I could eat it in one mouthful
So cold, my mouth and tongue it stings
But oh, the soothing coolness it brings.

Now I eat pink, later, yellow
In my mouth, it melts so
I could eat this everyday
Until the summer heat blows away.

“““`
Can anyone tell me or try to guess what I am referring to in the poem?

    How delicious — so fun to decide if she should eat the pink now yellow later. Very good use of descriptives creating the sensation of eating ice drops and candy pops.

    I love the variety of summer images. And it’s rainbow sherbet you’re eating, of course. Good job describing it, I can almost taste it myself.

    This makes me remember being a boy and laying in the grass with my friend looking at the clouds waiting for the ice cream truck. They were the little old 60s and 70s green and white ice creme trucks (not the big vans) and I can still hear the bells and see all of the treats on the side of the truck as it came up our block. It was the best. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. asa
