Thoreau When He Went Wooding

Apples red, apples round.

Apples frozen on the ground.

Yellow-mellow apples,

many speckled, bruised and brown.

Henry ate them

when he went wooding.

Said they tasted like apple pudding.

Loving it! But I'm afraid I'm going to get a big head if you keep this up! But please don't stop.

Darlene, I really enjoyed both the simplicity and beauty of your poem here. The words and images you use say so much in a very short space, but are quite powerful and compelling in how they convey your message. Quite Excellent!! And a "7" from me. Cheers and Best Wishes, Gary
