In Savannah, we have a wonderful ice cream parlor right downtown-Leopold's. They have many great flavors but last year, I first tasted their rose petal ice cream and I fell in love. It is featured the month of February for Valentine's Day and the month of May for Mother's Day. I normally do not include an advertisement, but, please, rush in to Leopold's since it will only be around a few more days. I was inspired to write this little poem because of this divine flavor.
Palest pink,
soft in color
and smooth on the tongue.
Gentle taste that reaches far back
into the palate and the past.
Deep delicate Mother Goddess memories
are tapped into with each spoonful.
Slowly savoring the cool love potion-
evoking a sensual union-
From the past or the future?
