the top of a sundae

Oh, this is nice. And I like it without the puncutation.

thanks, glad you like it, collin. (I believe I prefer it as is myself, without the punctuation, and wish I'd done it that way in the first place.)

Yes, that's right! I'm in total agreement with Collin... even without punctuation is a very nice tanka: thanks!

I like the wry humour in this one ... the all too human psyche operating in the wrong way ... fantasy of ice cream when you're supposed to be having haiku moments over the cherry blossoms.
