Lovie Divine Poet Imagism

Notes About The Poem

In the traditional family Christian heart, what God created in the beginning, regardless to the changes, and genetically modified products, and species produced by mankind, some things, yes are improved upon; but there are those things that should have been better left alone. As it says in His Word “I am the Lord, I change not...” so, did He mean for what He created to remain the way He created it? It does not argue that what is now, is not, nor that we should hate what has evolved by the alterations and dictations of man. It only breeds a comparison how different than God as mere men we are, and there remains the fact that just because we experiment, test, and modify, and we even create what should or shouldn’t be; we should have long constrained ourselves to have certain limits. There should or should have been something within our consciences to say, stop... let certain facts remain. 

 

 

Apple Facts

APPLE FACTS

An apple is an apple. It is an apple to the core. 
It is an apple because God made it an apple. 

It needs nothing more to make it shape, taste, 
or feel more like an apple; so it’s great at being an apple, 
because an apple is just what it is. 

No matter what color an apple it is, red, green, 
or yellow, it’s still an apple. 

And if it could bleed, it would have apple blood; 
but it has apple seeds, apple skin and apple flesh.

If we extract its juices, we’ll have apple juice. 
If we puree it, we’ll get apple sauce. 

If we cut it up and make pies, the pies will be… 
apple pies. 

An apple is a fruit, and it should never be taught  
that somehow it may be a veggie; I am sure then that it would not have to prove, apologize, or fight for the right to be fruity. 

If we plant its seeds, it will produce other apples, 
and that is proof enough that it was meant to be an apple. Surely we can genetically modify it to become something other than a pure apple.

But it is an apple by nature, meaning, that it’s simply natural 
for an apple to be the apple it was created to be. 

Fact is...an apple it is, an apple it was in the beginning, 
and an apple it will always be. 
And however it shall perish, whether for food for the body 
or to the earth again to produce more of it’s kind, 
by God and nature, it was surely an apple.

We humans can learn a lot from an apple.

Caren Krutsinger August 21, 2018 at 12:42 PM I love the part about if an apple could bleed, it would have apple blood. I would like to write a poem about that, but it is your idea, so it would seem like stealing. Lovie Divine August 22, 2018 at 7:48 AM Thank you Caren, I always appreciate your complimentsn and the consideration as well.
