Hundreds of poets not only\u003cbr\u003e said a resounding \"yes,\" but wrote about it. And from those hundreds, I\u003cbr\u003e accepted the 125 poems you will find here from 27 different states plus\u003cbr\u003e Australia, France, Iraq, Spain, and Tunisia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The poems are as various as the flavors of ice cream: long poems, short\u003cbr\u003e poems, and in addition to traditional free-verse narratives and lyrics: \u003cbr\u003e experimental poems, poems in forms such as sestinas, sapphics, sonnets, \u003cbr\u003e prose poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When I accepted the job of editing, I wondered if I'd be bored by so many\u003cbr\u003e poems about ice cream; I wondered whether there would be hundreds of\u003cbr\u003e poems about The Good Humor Man or Dairy Queen. But I needn't have\u003cbr\u003e worried, I was never bored. The Good Humor Man and Dairy Queen poems\u003cbr\u003e were there, of course, but I was amazed by the wide variety of subjects: \u003cbr\u003e light humorous poems, sweet poems, lusty poems, dark poems, poems\u003cbr\u003e about childhood memories, a poem about Obama's first date, and a poem\u003cbr\u003e with Paul Newman in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I am pleased with this final collection of ice cream poems.
