Day 21 , #OctPoWriMO2020
A short one today on “Taste”. I am an ardent lover of anything that tastes sweet: chocolates, ice creams, savories, Rosogulla ( a popular Bengali Sweet!) and the list goes on and on. So this poem is dedicated to all things that is Sweet!
Romancing the Taste Buds
The jingle of the ice cream van
Still lingers in my ears
When at the mere sound
My eyes lit like a constellation!
The delicious creamy dollops of absolute happiness
In the quiet streets of the summer afternoon
Always came as a blessing in disguise
When my loving grandmother
With a twinkle in her eye
Took me and my brother
Towards the ice cream Van
The treasure box opened
We could have as many as we wanted!
No two little people could have been as happy
As WE!
My taste buds danced in glee
As cold, creamylicious ( this word exists!) blobs of pure bliss
Embraced them and the taste lasted for eternity!
How I wished that time stopped
At that moment, in that little corner of the street
Allowing my romance with taste buds to flourish
Melting all worries and anxieties
With the sweetest touch
Of Vanilla, Chocolate chips, Strawberries, Butterscotch
And the Like!
