Christmas Ice Cream Parlour
Mikeydred's Second Poetic Challenge In The Vocal Social Society- Zel Harrison
This is a series of short sonnets based on suggestions by Vocal friends in the Vocal Social Society. I will include a suitable video as well.
The challenge is “give me a subject and five words and I will try and create a sonnet”.
This is from Zel Harrison:
Subject: I jumped on lickety-split
Words: Three tall mint chip ice cream scoops with sprinkles on top

The Fish Song
The room didn’t smell like disinfectants. Its fragrance seemed light and not overbearing. A soft mixture of lavender and mint permeated the space. No beeping machines or any tubes hooked up to four-year-old Kaleeka. Her cacao skin seemed to glow from the light over her head. The family, save for one and the doctors and nurses exited the room like a trail of saints showing their last vestiges of regard.
