Hello, I’m back with another poem which started from a random thought in my mind. So, without further ado, here it is, and hope you like it!!!
The Empty Ice Cream Bowl
It was a hot summer day
Bright sunshine made its presence felt
I was eating an ice cream, had nothing to say
The heat was strong, it took a minute to melt
There was also some chocolate sauce
On that previously frosty vanilla ice cream
Oh! How refreshing it was!
Felt like some happy dream
As it was so tasty
In another two minutes
The bowl was empty
Suddenly my mind was back
to the place where I was sitting
I was feeling upset and was taken aback
Too bad, reality seemed unfitting
I looked at the bowl
It seemed like my reality somehow
I thought I should go for a stroll
I turned my neck around, looked out of the window and wow!
Found a pretty hibiscus, a deep red in colour
It’s alluring petals faced towards me
In a moment I could feel my gloom disappear
And now a new idea made me see
Reason says the bowl is filled with air
Air that eyes cannot see
So is I thought such small happiness
Hidden in flowers, ice creams and what not
Too easy to be ignored and deemed something less
And I felt happy again and why to just sulk and rot?
