FOOD

Red lips quiver and her skin starts to shiver as her teeth bite into the succulent red flesh.

Taste buds tingle senses sing while juices flow down her chinny-chin-chin.

She licks the juice off her fingers and closes her eyes while the moment lingers.

A vampiric feast to be savoured, Marjan.

I was hoping the red flesh was watermelon rather than human. Loved the poem.

Hi Mary. The red flesh is that of a fruit.. Flesh is how they describe the outer portion of a strawberry. I hope I didn't give readers the wrong impression.

Blame Sue. I was picturing delectable fruit with juices dripping down your chin and until Sue mentioned vampires.

Hello Mary.

A very wise man and a gifted writer himself once said to me "beauty and horror are in the eye of the beholder equally." And I couldn't agree more. So if the reader imagines my poem involves a vampire, so be it.

I would also like to thank you for reading my poem. A 'ripe' imagination can be a wonderful thing.

Have yourself a wonderful day and keep entertaining us with your excellent stories.

All the best.

Marjan

Hi Marjan, The title made me think of vampires. But, the character wants a bite of a delicious fruit:) Good choice of words.
