yum, ice cream

Can you remember those amazing days?
sun setting, just barely
children playing, if your lucky on a trampoline,
bouncing as high as birds, or birds about to crash
as the BBQ fries those burgers


After a beautiful pik-nik dinner,
in your own back yard
ice creams delivered, little eyes light up
anticipantly waiting, wondering what to do
Even the oldest (me) waited impatiently

And being the oldest, I had the power
using my old tactic, I ate
stirring it into a paste of chocolate sludge
More trampoline, more BBQ
setting sun, makes me regret

that I didn't get the vanilla

Author notes

You know those family get-togethers? or at least get togethers with familys? just thought i'd portray that =)

Please tell me what you think

    back when nothing else mattered

    This reminds me of days spent at parties in the park. You know where they rent the big bouncy thing? This was a vivid poem and I liked it very much.
