It seems like eons
Since sweet juice ran down my chin
Hurry tomato

Darkness slowly melts
Silken earth against my tongue
Sweet forest flavors

I wish I had a runner runner up prize, as this one was only 17 votes away:

Cold, creamy crystals
Aromatic orchid bean.
Summer in a cone! (39%, 200 Votes)

Thanks to everyone who entered! As usual, it was a great contest.
