Things That Melt

Idea Stimulator # 9
Things That Melt

Tuna melts, ice cream, ice sculpture, glaciers, ice bergs, grilled cheese sandwiches, soap, nuclear energy plants, ice cubes, your heart (falling in love), soles of your shoes too close to a fireplace, heroin on a spoon, snow, frost on a windshield, solder, what else? How many foods can you think of associated with melting? Welsh Rarebit, Cheez-Whiz, Pizza, etc. I see a colorful abandoned double stick ice pop melting on the dashboard of a car. I see a caterer's ice sculpture melting on the buffet table after everyone has gone home.

Like a piece of ice on a hot stove the poem must ride on its own melting.

Hi Ian,

Their not foods, but what about dreams, hopes and ideals. They often melt away in the real world of making a living. How about courage or ambition. The wicked witch of the east. My bank account has been melting away due to a series of promo piece.

Thanks,
Steve Skoll
