Cream, Chocolate, and Cherries

Tristan Robert Lange


Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:

Read πŸ‘“, Write ✍️, Rise πŸŒ…, Realize 🀯.

Tristan πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
Strolling along clouds filled with sky,
Puffy white with lemon drops
 
Oh—my!—
 
I came about a grassy knoll,
Sat at a terrapin station—
Pulled out a bowl—
 
The sky rises to the clouds,
Dark star of death musing around—
 
Digging that Grateful Dead sound,
A hell of a starburst,
 
Gracias, Jerry!—
 
I sit and eat my ice cream
With chocolate and cherries!
Ah!—heaven bound.

    Here the sky is made into a dessert feast surreal of not is make my mouth water. Delicious Tristan both as a poem and something to eat. Mine today is somewhat similar.

      Haha, thank you, Soren! I’d be worried if this one didn’t make somebody hungry. πŸ˜„ The dessert imagery is baked right into it from top to bottom. Add a little Grateful Dead and clouds full of sky, viola. And I don’t know about you, but I am a sucker for Cherry Garcia ice cream! 🀣 Thanks again, my friend. πŸ¨β˜οΈπŸ’πŸŽΆπŸ™

          Good write T. I'm back - unless another blip cuts me off again. It's a glug really, I bet. We know. Mr P Solus & Co. lol.

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            Orchi! Glad to see you made it back from whatever strange corner of the internet swallowed you this time. πŸ˜„ And yes…a glug is always the prime suspect. They have sticky fingers and absolutely no respect for modern technology. πŸ¨πŸ“‘πŸ‘½πŸ–€

            • orchidee

              How exactly did the glug cut us orf? WCAT! lol.

              Who wouldn't want to die in a vat of chocolate.
              In saying that, it's got to be milk chocolate.

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                Dark or milk, I cannot deny the veracity of that there observation. πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

                  • Tristan Robert Lange

                    Teddy, pull up a chair, my friend! πŸ˜„ Between your banana split and my bowl of Cherry Garcia ice cream, we’re one scoop away from turning this comment section into a full-blown dessert buffet. πŸŒπŸ¨πŸ’

                    This put a smile on my face. Love you wording, the meaning and the mtaphors.

                    I liked this line: Dark star of death musing around. And also the ice cream bit
