Poetry 101 Rehab: Right

Today I am joining Mara Eastern’s weekly poetry challenge to continue to develop my newly found poetry skills. To add some interest and mix it up a bit—each week using the theme I will write two poems, not one. This week’s theme is RIGHT—I have chosen to write a limmerick—in celebration of St Patrick’s Day yesterday and a concrete poem.

 

Is it wrong or is it right?

This is my common plight

How can I tell?

If I do not dwell

Because I need to prepare for the fight.

 

 

                                                                    Alright.

                                                              Yes I got

                                                         uptight,

                                                 every time

                                              I couldn’t

                                         tell my

                                  left-hand

from my             right. Then

  I solved the problem

          I put a ring

              on it.

World’s Best Ice Cream

Vanilla, chocolate, or something else entirely?

During our trip to Canada, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island we discovered a secret—the world’s best ice cream. The brand was appropriately named Cows and decorated in a black and white cow print theme. The weather may have been cold, rainy and miserable outside but wasn’t going to stop us treating ourselves.

Cow's - The World's best Icecream

The names of the ice cream flavours were also a delight with an unusual twist on the cow theme.  I choose Cowie Wowie—vanilla ice cream, English toffee marble,chocolate flakes and moo crunch for my bottom level. On the top I had Moo York Cheesecake—cheesecake ice cream, Oreo and chocolate swirl. My husband choose Cowberry—vanilla ice cream, fresh PEI strawberries, PEI blueberries and raspberries for his bottom layer. He topped this off with Birthday Cake—cake batter base, blue frosting swirl and sprinkles.

 

 

The ice cream was amazing. Rich and smooth and you could tell the individual flavours that went into each cone. My regret is that I didn’t choose a chocolate flavour as I usually would which I think would have taken my choice to a new height. Cowie Wowie is their most popular flavour which is why I choose it and I am not sorry I did.

Upon leaving there was a sadness as we realised we wouldn’t be able to try it again as there is not a big chain of Cows stores around Canada. This was a one hit wonder and a highlight of our trip to Charlottetown.

The experience put new meaning to the old quote—”I sceam, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.”
