Apple Picking Time

One of my childhood memories I wish to keep with me is apple picking time. Once a year On a Sunday our family would head out to apple orchard country. Never forget the large sign :Pick your own Apples: 5 dollars a bushel Well, out of the car and in no time My sister and I were filling the basket with big red juicy apples. Knocking them out of the trees With one hand and eating them with the other. In no time our basket was full. All the way home both of us munching on these big juicy red apples. Some things you never forget. This is one of them.

dang , I see what you mean, by this recent winner list, Richard. Congrats by the way. All I can tell you is that it must be the style you are using. the judge need to see the poem in the form they ask for it. Methinks you are not a rule follower. IN spite of that, you produce some wonderful poetry.

this is a very heartwarming memory. There are so many things we did as children that we cannot get back. even if we tried, it just wouldn't be the same. sure enjoyed this one, richard.
