Apples



I walked up to an apple tree 
to pick for me an apple
I found one nice and plump 
but as I went to take a bite
It drop onto a stump
so I plucked another; not as sweet 
and as I took a bite, 
my eyes beheld another yet
hanging there just right.. 
before I knew it my apron filled
with all that I desired
I only wanted one..I thought
but look what I acquired.

Excellent. You've captured in a poem the old adage, "The Grass Is Always Greener On The Other Side." Well done.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
