Forbidden

The forbidden
Looks so tantalizing

Go away
From it, mother warns

There is death
In the red pudding

The color
Draws me in

The scent
Calls for me

image

It is forbidden
She says.

*****
In response to the daily prompt Forbidden

  1. Wow! Very interesting take. Have you watched ‘The Village’ ? In that movie people bury any flower that blooms bearing the forbidden color, because it attracts ‘those we do not speak of’
