Notes About The Poem

Apple Worm

Apple Worm

Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Empire, Fuji, Gravenstein, apples

They say an apple a day keeps the Doctor away

But 

One worm can destroy a whole bushel of good apples

your discrete lines filled with sweet smelling ingredients so palatable to the mind are just beyond gratitude and appreciation. This page is a wonder and your poetry speaks volume of creativity beyond physical perspective. keep it up friend and this is definitely a 7.

This made me smile Eve lets hope the worm will turn one day - do beware of the apples - the only thing worse than finding a worm in an apple... is finding half a worm when you bite into it lol:-) hugs Jan xx

We need to put some slipper banana pills of some sort to make them slid off. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New year with tons of blessings

the purpose of the worm....is to ruin what we concern....as consumable for our joy....and that's every woman, man, girl and boy....;)

Hi! my lovely friend, it's great philosophy. In a basket of hundred apples one perishing apple can perish all the apples one by one. Beautiful thought. My favorite poem and poetess too. Clean 7 i think. Loved always,bl

lol Kinda like one rotten apple, too. Great thoughts, Eve, and what a cute cartoon. Golden Delicious for my pies and Fuji for eating as is. They are so juicy.

Need to get rid of that nasty worm! I don't want my apples to have a surprise in them when I take a bite! Not to comforting to the tummy besides the visual and taste is embedded in your brain forever. YUCK! :'( Hugs dear friend
