Today's poem is a short, whimsical, two-pager about Summer and the memories the season evokes.
It's up on Zora as a content coin, which means you can trade it if you want (I'm only really sticking these up here now tom keep them all in one place, as a permanent online archive), but they are tradeable too, if that's your thing.
If it's not, then you can read the poem as normal in the attached cast below. Read, copy, paste, share, devour, vomit, burn etc. Whatever you want.
I've also attached some lazy analysis from grok further down the thread because it's fun to see this stuff analysed by AI.
Hope you enjoy!

And Grok's lazy analysis:
The poem paints a vivid, sensory-rich picture of a childhood summer moment centered around a melting ice cream cone. Here's a brief analysis:
Imagery and Sound: The opening lines ("A drip drop / Slip slopped") use onomatopoeia to mimic the sound and motion of melting ice cream, engaging the reader's senses. The "chocolate / gooey mess" and "criss-cross / crunchy biscuit" further enhance the tactile and visual experience, while "sticky fingers / Lazily wiped" adds a casual, carefree tone.
Structure: The poem is free-form, with short, fragmented lines that mirror the uneven drip of the ice cream. This structure reinforces the spontaneous, playful nature of the scene.
Theme: It evokes nostalgia for summer days filled with "sweltering heat," "swimming pools," and "sand," contrasting the messy ice cream with "smiles that never / slip slopped / Or drip dropped away." This suggests enduring joy amidst the impermanence of the moment. 1 reply
