Thoreau When He Went Wooding

Apples red, apples round. Apples frozen on the ground. Yellow-mellow apples, many speckled, bruised and brown. Henry ate them when he went wooding. Said they tasted like apple pudding.

Darlene, I really enjoyed both the simplicity and beauty of your poem here. The words and images you use say so much in a very short space, but are quite powerful and compelling in how they convey your message. Quite Excellent!! And a "7" from me. Cheers and Best Wishes, Gary
