Premiere Contest WinnerPomegranate

Pomegranate 

Careful, tentative and delicate tips shiver over the forgiving skin
Shell barring the bloody body of the fruit 
Only condemned to,
consumption

Bruising without protest 
Its sweetness not asked for - only expected

Though some things are more beautiful broken

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
