Putting My Feet In The Dirt August Prompt#1- STRAWBERRY KISSES

Edvard Munch

Wine soaked kisses belong to the Spring

to false winters and ersatz Summers

Spring kisses are promised kisses

and promises are fragile and easily broken.

But Strawberrry kisses

are full and sweet

in the Summer and Autumn when the Sun is pale

and the air is dusty and tired

Strawberry kisses are Vampire kisses

they take what they need

and offer so little in return

and their victims don’t even care.
