Old Apple Tree Hiku Trio

an old apple tree
where a house stands abandoned . . .
limbs with empty nests

hanging from the tree -
a child’s swing from long ago 
swaying in fall’s breeze

scattered on the ground
round the trunk of the old tree . . .
red, ripened apples

I see a very opaque metaphor herein Andrea...the family, ripened in age, scattered...leaving the house and tree....branching out.
