Apple Pickin' Time

It is apple pickin' time in Georgia Come get them while they're crisp and not quite ripe Bite into apple's delicious tartness From the tree's garden of Eden a few swipe Down where the apple blossoms in springtime Many hearts flourish fulfilling life's fate And red grapes produce a fine wine sometimes The apple-grape wine gets sweet with a wait Come gather in the harvest~apples golden Clip some stems of the grape chosen Mix the two in baskets enjoy their delight Harvest two fruits with their sweet juice swollen It is apple pickin' time in Georgia Come get them while they're crisp and not quite ripe Bite into apple's delicious tartness From the tree's garden of Eden a few swipe This short poem like fine apple-grape wine Will become better if allowed to age Then drink a swig while on roast chicken dine If I did this one right, well just you gauge Sponsor: Isaiah Zerbst Contest: Apple Pickin' Time Written: October 18, 2013

Thanksgiving is going to be here soon! It falls on the same day as Chanukah this year - first time I remember that happening. Nice poem here! Take a look at an urban poem I just published.
