What Am I?
Snacktime Sonata - Acrostic
Pop goes the wrapper
Of a hot summer dream
Purple grape
Sinful chocolate
Icy shivery tingles on your tongue
Cold, red sweet cherry
Lick every drop, and each sticky finger
Every colour of the rainbow tasting so good

Tears
Water flowing like a river. The taste of sea salt on a burning hot summer day. Laying in the sun, long enough I can see the print of my bra strap against my skin. Tears, tears flowing like a tide in the ocean unable to stop because of force from the pressure and gravity. Trying to stop myself, but my heart aches; my heart feels like a ton of bricks weighing heavy on it. Oh my poor heart. How can I stop the tears from flowing? They run like kids on a playground, none stop, uncontrollably. When will they run dry like a well?

For the Love of Samosas
Prologue Today's post is short fiction in honor of all the hassled parents trying to keep their angsty teens in line. "Bye mum! I'm not coming home for lunch today. I'll be going to Mac's with Kelvin and his buddies before we head to his house to study for a test." With that, Adam Lim careened like the Flash out of his humble HDB abode.

This is lovely. I remember buying these from the ice cream bike.
Great acrostic but not so enticing during the sudden cold snap I’m experiencing 🥶
I love the rainbow here!

I love a good acrostic, it’s like a frozen popsicle on a summer’s day!
Love this!! The acrostic form suits it perfectly :)
Love the acrostic form for a poem like this! The first line is perfect word play to set things off with a pop
