writing prompt #66, write about november.
november likes to set her hair on fire;
is that why she always smells like she’s burning?
a fact about november is that,
she is the girl you find pieces of everywhere;
red nail-polish and scattered strands of hair.
she writes love poems in red ink,
and blows kisses in the wind.
november is the one all the boys fall in love with;
she’ll seduce you with rose eyes,
sleepless nights and heavy 4am sighs,
but only for december does she shed her leaves,
november’s got death up her sleeve.
and if you’ve ever known november
you’ll know she is a heartbreaker;
she’ll leave your lips chapped
and you’ll bite your teeth
and she’ll remind you that not all things beautiful
taste sweet.
