Brownies and Ice Cream (Poem by Mark Swift)

Image
By
Brownies and Ice Cream,
The sweetest combination,
Fills my mouth with delight.
If it were human,
It would be your best friend,
But be careful because,
 like brownies and ice cream,
It's hot and cold,
Burning you while it
Freezes your mind.

    Yum! I've never have had those two together, but they sound absolutely delightful!
    Huh, that's creative, naming the negative bits of those tasty treats if they were human. Man, a lot of your poems end on a dark note. XD

      They are amazing, but I'm serious with the comment of burning and freezing; fresh brownies (which are the best in the combination) combined with ice cream will completely shock your mouth, because of the two extremes
      Not too many actually do. Broken does for sure, but many don't. Almost all of my poems have dark sections, though; I like the idea of starting dark and ending optimistic! :D

    I've had brownie fudge ice cream before and I thought that it was the best thing ever. Not anymore! Hehe. I have something new to try with actual fresh brownies, apparently. It sounds really delicious. Anyway, I really love this poem, maybe it's the food aspect, but something about this poem makes me think back to when I used to have holiday spirit (and I remember the special food and treats especially). Also, "Burning you while it Freezes your mind." made me think of brain freeze. Lol. Anyway, this was an excellent poem, Mark. It was awesome.

      Lol Yeah, "Freezes your mind" is a reference to a brain freeze; "Burning you" is a reference to when you eat something too hot and you become conscious of all your taste buds being fried. Both are unpleasant feelings I have every time I eat something cold or warm :P

      Ouch! Yeah, those are unpleasant feelings. I know that from experience as well. Lol. Actually, I thought the burning line could have also referenced brain freeze, since something so cold can "burn" the tongue (while the brain freeze is happening). But yeah, something really hot burning my taste buds... Gah, I can feel it right now. It's not something anyone can forget. Lol.

      That's true; the cold actually does burn
      I might be able to forget it. Or might have. If I didn't burn it every night for almost a year lol

    Ha! I love this one, the light and airy feel into a darker meaning. Never tried brownies and ice cream, it sounds good though! Great piece!

      I grew up knowing of it as THE thing; the perfect dessert combo! And no one has heard of it? Lol

This was bound to happen, like so much that the one that is probably next is I don't know... The Poet of Steel or Spitfire or Lady Knight, or just some other crazy. Plus, you guys know the drill. Mark's Addition : So...well...yeah, if anyone else wants to do one, let me know. Apparently, this is the thing to do on my blog right now, though I admit, I have no clue why.

Nexus Mad Libs

I assume most of you are familiar with what Mad Libs are. Basically, you're given a bunch of blanks to fill in, and you do so without knowing what the story is. Each blank has a part of speech labeling it, and that blank needs something that fits the part of speech. For example: Adjective: ________ --> Adjective: Explosive In the end, we usually have a hilarious end result that makes no sense whatsoever. One example is this (which is a real result I got once with my siblings): "Another way to help you fall asleep faster is drinking a nuclear glass of warm vinegar ." First, let's go over some rules. Obviously, keep it family friendly. This still goes for all blog content. Do not submit two words in a row. Submit one, and when someone else does one, you may do another. Submit through comments. That'll make it easier for me to assemble the final result. The category is Medieval Heroes . Here are the blanks: Adjective: Constipated (Kyra) Per...
