Licorice Ice Cream & Chocolate Syrup Poem by Bob Genevro

Licorice Ice Cream & Chocolate Syrup



Like the giant claw of a steam shovel
the silver scooper bores into the
asphalt-black ice cream

The dark ice-globe
plops
on a brown sugar cone.

Chocolate syrup
as thick as house paint
oozes over the pinball dome and
hardens into a thin Hershey bar

A mouth
salivating
descends to
CRUNCH
