Tempting fruit
an invitation to imbibe
the sweet,
let juices drip down the chin
and smile with red-stained
teeth and tongue.
Tempestuous wind
may blow over straw houses
and leave those ladies
to shiver in the midst of the elements
in a storm
that threatens to never cease.
Temperate land
promised a welcoming hand,
and an offer of forever,
though it’s no better, really,
than anywhere else
full of false oaths and assurances.

then again gender and age
may make a fool of i
whom deem meself so damn sage!
