A chapter in the book 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
 
 




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.
