dripping
in summer heat
morning dew off green leaf
sweat beads off the playing child’s brow
ice cream, vanilla-chocolate swirl, off scoops
caught by a hungry, lapping tongue
before lost to the ground
now, down face, sweet
dripping

Ah fore-warned – half-term break here in the UK and its warm even hot here too! – two grand kids in control (them not me!) tomorrow and another two on Wednesday! Plenty ice- cream and the pool.
Lol…Have a wonderful time with those grand kids!
Yummy, Yummy 🙂
Yes! Especially in the heat we are having this week. Ice cream is on the menu. 🍨🍧🍦😉
Well, here too. I love summer, but it’s a bit ridiculously hot over here. Running around to extra water the plants, our dog, myself….jeeeeez hahaha

I like an orange bar myself…. Its an ice-lolly
But summer? No… Its 42-44 (Celsius) here, and I am getting roasted. Still, its better than the monsoon months of July & August…
Hi, Rajiv. I love anything fruity. Dinner tonight was fresh cherries, raspberries and apricots.
I don’t mind the heat if I have shade and a breeze. Hang in there and stay cool. 😎😊
