Oh I do love it, Tam. "red striping, heart-shaped when sliced" Nice! I eat at least one apple a day, pink ladies are my favorite, & am convinced they keep me healthy. I also like that 'planted by Johnny".
ReplyDeleteAn apple is one of my staples for breakfast. I like this little poem and the way you played with the words.

Now that is a slice! I feel an apple craving coming on.
ReplyDeleteI love apples too! What a fun poem. I will think of you when I see those tear drop seeds.
ReplyDeleteI like the mixture of the poetic with the factual. Yummy slice.
