Br_logo_small The future generations rest
Upon her dimpled, scarlet dress.

This is a riddle about a strawberry. The idea of future generations might seem as specific as children...or as general as the fate of humanity on the planet. And the dimpled, scarlet could be a tender mother's red, dotted-swiss dress... or a high resolution photo of the sun reminding us of global warming's dire potential. But in this riddle, the future generations are seeds nestled row after row on the opulent red dress of a juicy strawberry.
NEW RIDDLE:
I'm the color of leaves
I am blood
I am snow
I am home to an eagle
And serpent, his foe.
