    Thank you, Ian–the prompt this week was ordinary, which I think is a bit sadistic, as it only leaves you with 13 syllables to play with 🙂

    Selection of words are very unique here, Beautiful, though it looks to be in darker side,.

      Ramesh–yes, strawberry works well here (my favorite would be chocolate, and would also work in the syllables I had left), but I wanted to use vanilla for its ordinariness. Thanks for commenting!

    What an image put forth by your haiku, Susan.. lovely 🙂 I wouldn’t think an ice-cream cone is ordinary in any way though 😀

    4 syllables is sadistic you say? Let’s see what I can come up with in future 😉

    Bravo for being the first one in! That was quick. I had to struggle because the word is quite long and as you said left us with just 13 syllables to play with. I did you did well.

    Sorry, a typo in my comment. The last sentence suppose to read “I think you did well.”
