Beware Of The Golden Mushroom

Beware Of The Golden Mushroom

She runs freely and wild

Through the unfallowed forest

She sways to and fro

She bends ever gently in the soft summer breeze

Her beauty mesmerizes you

Her long blonde wisps are tendrils of temptation

You can taste her in your dreams

She softens your palette

She sates your hunger

You devour her completely

She is the one

Then, she smiles

As your senses slightly skip askew

You look to her, she has changed

No longer golden

But dark, and nefarious

You fight for each breath

As you witness her transformation

With your last, she returns to the forest

There, she takes her beautiful form once again

Your epitaph will read

“Beware of the Golden Mushroom”

Hi Jai,

Definitely mushroom soup, but with copious amounts of "cream", if you know what I mean.  Thanks so much for your kind words.  They mean a lot.

Peace and Love,

Larry the metaphor is very cool within this mystical and devious write. I have yet to get through my first golden mushroom and I hope to cope with it's poison for the rest of my life. Nice job luring us in with your tale. Peace.

Hi Devon,

Sometimes the antidotes are closer at hand than one expects.  Believe me, I know, for I've survived three vicious attacks.  Yet, the fourth mushroom turned out to be the delicacy of my existence.  Thank you for your lovely comments.

Peace and Love,
