Peaches are round and juicy with furry skin like a rabbit.
It's delectable flesh is refreshing and leaves a sweet sensation in my mouth.
I gnaw through that furry skin like I've never seen food before.
The citrus juice runs down my chin like blood from a vampires lip.
This mouth watering delight's essence stays with me long after I have devoured this sticky fruit.
