A Crush on Cherry

Going to the movies as a child
was a treat.  Cartoons,
double feature, and those
soda machines that spewed
forth crushed ice.  Nothing
like those clunky cubes.
I’d press the button
for cherry, and when
the soda was gone,
slurp up the crushed ice.

We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.

    I like crushed ice. It’s totally a thing. Sucking on some crushed ice. Man, I miss that.

    A blast from the past. Crushed ice is always better for slurping!

    As a kid, I hated carbonated drinks… it would not have helped even with ice.
