'pardon Me, Could You Pass the Grey Poupon'

Winds caressing fringes of
   her deep chocolate tresses
as tree nymphs nimbly hid
  midst fallen maple leaves 
    happily prancing round toes,
whilst a crescendo of chimes
   played off in near distances,
warm apple pie aroma wafting
 upon a zephyr tickling her nose,
unfastened her reddish cloak 
  for her e'er plunging neckline
exposed an ample décolletage
 voluptuously heaving in broad
 daylight waiting to seduce a crafty
wolf in sheep's clothing she had afore
  encountered on the way to grannies, 
called ahead to make reservations
for her & handsome knighted chef
hiding amidst the dark forest with
his trusty sharpened butcher knife,
had acquired Wolfgang Puck's
   wickedly-satisfying secret recipe
        for savory pack-of-wolves stew 


Li'l Reddish Revenge is a dish best served cold-blooded with liberal
scads of punitive napkins and a bottle of vindictively chilled Chianti

With apologies to Mr. Lector, it seems you've elevated the "Hood" to a whole new level. Still hard to picture a 12 year old with a voluptuous set of headlights. Loved it and congratulations for POTD honors...

Funny poem, Paloma. I'm still chuckling while writing this. Decolletage, eh. Gotta look that one up. As the Terminator said in his best John Connor imitation voice: what's wrong w/Wolfie. Cool and witty poem. Love always.

Talk about fractured fairy tales, this was out of control. Wow, sadly this may be my final poem on this site to read and I couldn't have picked a better one to exit on. Your poetry is amazing Paloma, the way you craft words and phrases just sends my mind wandering with a myriad of thoughts and always a smile. This was fantastic.
