Vamp


a murderous
winter passion
held its icy grip

on juicy melons,
mellow-rich

the blood
of raspberries
stained her fingertips

and mouth, lost
in strawberry sublime

found every drop
of juice
every seed

divine

      The color alone of a berry smoothie is like a jewel in the winter for me :-)

    This is extremely clever imagery (I'm thinking Agatha Christie, here. Apparently - I seem to recall - the most read writer ever). Or, something along those lines.

    vamp, murderous, passion, rich, blood, stained, fingertips, every drop, divine

    Delicious (excuse the horrible pun) tongue in cheek - capture. And really, really delightful, Jennifer.
