Notes About The Poem

...

- Kanzi -

Give me an apple
from my garden
Red and juicy
An aromatic, fresh taste
In the apple's stomach,
many small apple children
A smell of summer and sunshine

They are cheaper today,
compared with the price
on an apple in the garden of Eden
Have you thought about that, Isaac Newton ?
An apple to the day, keeps the doctor away
