Frostbitten Frown

Burned and bluffed,
Fooled and ridiculed,
Etched in her stare
Was a frostbitten frown.

Fallacies and fact
Mixed and commingled,
Truth was perception,
Betrayal was abound. 

Heckled by hissing  
Snakes that side-wind,
Unable to decipher
The colors of venom.

Fraudulent, fictitious,
Fabricated intentions,
The appetite of predators
Is growing unfettered.

Begging and pleading,
Carnivores are calling,
Relentless persuasion
Knock at her eardrum.
