Popsicle Etiquette

Snap apart this summer sweetness and share it with a friend.
Or, before you finish, it will melt from end to end,
running down your hand and then half way up your arm,
and though you feel that arm-licking is part of summer’s charm,
the taste of cherry mixed with sunscreen resin isn’t fun,
as your rush to finish turns into a race against the sun.
So take your frosty passion and snap it into two
and ask a friend to partake of its lusciousness with you.
Then if you are lucky, your friend will buy one more,
break it apart and hand you half as you leave the store.

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.
