lucky encounter
of a piece of summer’s art –
when crossing paths
with a melted ice cream heart.
—
“besides being a useful adjunct to courtship,
ice-cream is often employed to feed poets upon.”
~”A Few Casual Remarks on Ice-Cream,” Puck, 1881

This would be perfect for my Poetry challenge this month as the prompt is ‘heart.’ I would love to link to it, if I may? https://forestwoodfolkart.wordpress.com/2018/08/05/poetry-challenge-august-prompt-and-writing-resources/

Yes, but it’s the “link back” and ” or comment on both the WordPress and (I didn’t see the other location) ” statement that confused me.

Within your poetry post, you can create a pingback or linkback to my blog Something to Ponder About and a second linkback to my co host Ineke’s wordpress blog using the url address and the chain linking icon, on your taskbar, in the ‘edit’ screen. Are you familar with that feature?
If you also add the tag A and I Poetry challenge to your post, I will also find you, Sometimes the pingbacks don’ t come through! Welcome to the challenge. It will be lovely to have you join in. Any more questions, just ask.

Now that’s a whole new interpretation to ‘You make my heart melt.’ Good find, as usual, Beth.

Seeing beauty in the decaying….you would have been a star of some of my literature courses. Perhaps that comment is a little silly. I guess you were probably a star of your own.
