Sinister Snowbird.

One final blast of frigid wind leaving one last reapers' kiss.
La femme fatale bids dour adieu to fast fading verdant bliss.
She snaps her teeth like silver shears in cold calculating lips.
She slips her burnished bits of bone through Borgia fingertips.
La femme fatale bids dour adieu to fast fading verdant bliss.
Forlorn fields lie lifeless now,sweet skin scored graveyard brown.
She slips her burnished bits of bone through Borgia fingertips.
She will cover with a liquid shroud, trimmed ends in frosty down.
Forlorn fields lie lifeless now,sweet skin scored graveyard brown. 
She snaps her teeth like silver shears in cold calculating lips.
She will  cover with a liquid shroud, trimmed ends in frosty down.
One final blast of frigid wind leaving one last reapers' kiss.

Dear Purple Poem eater ~{*.*}~ congratulations on your win in the Dr's contest with this wonderful poem. I was wondering have you ever really analyzed English Literature or Victorina Poetry or viewed the masterworks of the great painters in history in detail~ these are the poets and artists that inspire me in my writing~ they are filled with over exaggeration ~ and of course I am referring to your comment left on my co-write with Debs~ only you will understand~~Love Constance
