Creation Saturday: Sucking on Ice – A Free Verse Poem

Jalal (Glory), 3 Raḥmat (Mercy) 173 BE - Saturday, June 25, 2016 about 12:01 PM Pacific Daylight Time 

Summer Saturday 
A cup of ice to suck on 
Makes the triple digit summer days 
Easier to deal with. 

I remember growing up in Oklahoma 
Waiting for the ice cream truck to pass by 
So I could purchase a strawberry or grape popsicle 
To suck on while I sit under the cottonwood tree. 

I remember make iced tea 
And then when the glass was empty 
Sucking on the iced cubes 
Until Grandma ask 
If I wanted another glass.
