Colorful Temptations

Day-7 OctPoWriMo-2015


They come
 In different shapes and colors
Irresistible sirens.

Auburn and amber
Mahogany, beige and copper
Chestnut and russet
Pudding and tart.

These sinful temptations
Making me curvaceous
In forbidden places.

I bemoan my fate
Falling for their antics
Knowing it is not wise
To cry over the size.

Life is too short
To worry and moan
These colorful darlings
Brings cheer and happiness
On its shiny wings
Wrapped in small doses.
