Love at First Bite, by Marjan Sierhuis

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.

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.

    Poetry

    This is the section where fiction prose becomes something else. We still expect the poems to be short, though – sonnets, perhaps, or around that length at the very most.

    Poems submitted should be
    no longer than 160 words
    and contain
    no more than 16 lines.

    100 words remains the approximate target.

    Please submit using the Submissions Page.
