Sundae - Callan Latham

Caramel drips from the sky.

​Whipped cream clouds
move along, sprinkling
sugar into the hot fudge lakes.

Streams of vanilla
ice cream run along
the glass dish of the earth.

Forests of candies, full
of groves of deciduous chocolates
and conglomerates of cookies
that stay year-round, despite the weather.

And cherries sit on mountain tops,

​pretty please, pretty please.
Callan says,"While writing 'Sundae,' I was craving ice cream; so, naturally, I made a poem out of it."

Callan is in 12th grade at Theodore Roosevelt High School. The Editors enjoyed this poem because of the unusual description of a Sunday as terrain and the feeling that you were there. Callan also submitted the poem, "Peach."
