Pink frosted cupcakes
Stare at me

With multicolored
Sprinkled eyes

Their soft red hair
Licks the atmosphere

Their mouths
Are crinkled in waxy
Disgust

But

When their hair is blown off
Their lips peeled away
Their eyes licked up

They are delicious

This was inspired by a cupcake on a really boring rainy day.

This is very strange... and very good. I'm glad that you're able to make something so creatively from a boring day and a cupcake. This was really written well. "Their soft red hair/ licks the atmosphere" is a great line. You had a perfect ending.
