Poetry Challenge #146-You Scream, I Scream

7 minutes

Even when it’s FREEZING outside, ask “Who wants ice cream?” And everyone screams “I do-I do!” Everyone but me that seems. That being said, there is a vacant restaurant on a prime corner a few blocks from me that would make a primo ice cream shop…

Poetry Challenge #146

We All Scream for Ice Cream

Pretend you are the one opening that new ice cream shop up the block. What flavors would you offer? If you made up a new flavor, what kind would it be? No combination is off limits…at least not until it’s taste tested.

What’ll it be: mashed potato ice cream, beer ice cream, olive oil ice cream, buffalo wing ice cream, goat cheese ice cream or candied bacon ice cream? Yum!

Write a luscious, creamy, delish poem featuring your dream ice cream.

Make us taste it, feel it, want it! Make our mouths water!

Set your timer for 7 minutes

Start writing!

Don’t think about it too much; just do it!

I’ll take two scoops!

Poetry Challenge #145 - Too Darn Hot

Some days it’s just too darn HOT! So hot you stick to every chair. So hot you can’t move. So hot it feels like you’re melting.
