Thirty (hopefully) Poems for April
:
Come The Harvest
by Debra White
|
|
|
In a world
where apples rule
I wonder what would be
my destiny
come the harvest
picked
plastic packed
with five similar others
left
on the tree
with the rest
the rejects
to be nibbled
and pecked
until
the inevitable
fall and ferment
I wonder
which rotten ending
would be
mine

Author Notes
I'm slowly but surely catching up with NaPoWriMo!
This is my eleventh poem of the month, so I'm only two behind schedule :)
Inspired by the artwork which I saw displayed in a shop window this afternoon.
