Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed. - Robert H. Schuller Luscious crimson, amber, falling Trembling on branches, perfect yarns Reciting journeys, their calling Seeds thrown aside while nature darns Trembling on branches, perfect yarns Fables and feelings, rustling winds Seeds thrown aside while nature darns Blessings eternal, gentling minds Fables and feelings, rustling winds Glossy skins need peeling, tasty Blessings eternal, gentling minds Autumn swirls its songs so hasty Glossy skins need peeling, tasty Scrumptious liquids dribbling juices Autumn swirls its songs so hasty Startling bliss without excuses Scrumptious liquids dribbling juices Orchard scented with fruity hints Startling bliss without excuses Perfumed by autumn’s trailing prints Orchard scented with fruity hints Picking between the red and gold Perfumed by autumn’s trailing prints Harvest time, striking to behold Picking between the red and gold Reciting journeys, their calling Harvest time, striking to behold Luscious crimson, amber, falling

a simply luscious read, Regina. I especially liked the quote at the beginning as well as your well-crafted rhyme scheme. You evoked all the senses...now I want a crisp, cold apple. Have a wonderful weekend, Sara
