April 17th Poetry Prompt: Put a timer on for 10 minutes, write a poem and incorporate the word 'orange' in it!

unmold me between your palms
roll me around,         friction forming
between           our                 skins
caress me between your fingertips
underneath your pads,
feel for my                weaker spots
shudder across me as you work
back my tough, warped layers--
feel for the softer sections under
                                          neath
protrude between me


exposed


watch me  b    underneath your grip
              m    l
             o       o
                  s
                  s
as you p l u c k a w a y my delicate pieces
suctioning my taste in your mouth
glistening juices trickle d
                                        o
                                          w
                                             n
                                                your chin
hunger is forged.

piece by piece,
sloppy but sweet--
minutes it takes
sometimes the skin
is too rough,
pieces too full,
process too
much

but come now, we're finished
wipe away traces and mop up any
stray d r o p l e t s from the surface

as you smile and taste my remains
on your breath, shall i ask:

"orange you glad we had a taste?"

A Dagger & the Dictaphone

The Queen of Mystery is back at it again with another installment of the Hercule Poirot detective mystery series. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd  takes place in King's Abbot, which is located in Great Britain. Both Mrs. Ferrars' and Mr. Ackroyd's deaths happen simultaneously after one another--one by an overdose and one by a dagger. Narrator Dr. James Sheppard is a physician who not only oversaw Mrs. Ferrars' death, but also Mr. Ackroyd's. It was shortly discovered after both murders that Dr. Sheppard's mysterious neighbor was the infamous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot! After being incognito for a time, Flora Ackroyd was able to persuade him to investigate her late uncle's murder. This mystery novel introduces a number of different characters that all hold specific roles to the background of the village and the murder itself. When reading it, I found everyone seemed to have a suspicious factor about them, but Hercule Poirot was able to weave between the s...
