There is some
truth
in a black rimmed
plate
with a jam
doughnut
on it, resting by a large
window,
the sun pouring on
sugar,
flesh, as a hint of
blood
threatens to break the light
surface.

Why thank you Leanne

I'll put it in serious critique then. But if it gets savaged I'm gunning for you

I needed a little sweetness today. Thanks, Jack!
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
