Emile Pinet Poet Blank verse

Notes About The Poem

A Glossy Green Patina

At first it’s a pretty pink bud
that soon blooms into a flower.
And amidst an orchard of trees
wafts its scent to a passing breeze.

A summer sun sustains it's growth
beaming all the light it'll need.
And bittersweet, it starts to swell
flaunting a glossy green patina. 

Getting plumper, it blushes red
as it ripens even sweeter.
And before Autumn approaches 
it gets plucked from its lofty perch.

And placed inside of a bushel
it is sold along the road side.
And I buy this gorgeous apple
to gift to a special teacher.

Andrea Dietrich April 11, 2018 at 7:09 PM Ahhh, so sweet, a blushing red apple. I think a student of mine actually gave me an apple one time (secretly I was wishing it was chocoate!) Thanks for your recent contest. My mind immediately went to Ollyver!
