Apricot of the Tarts
If a demon sours of harrowing,
cannot the Angels sing in barren too?
birds weigh less than the tall grass,
and a sight is much more beautiful,
than we could have ever imagined
of nature's true gift of existing
and the angel's bless of receiving
of the grand in our hearts
can be of swapping
of the apricots in the tarts....
Sweet and ever so

Apricot Morning Something For Which To Be Thankful
Giant basket of apricots rising
Scattering its contents across the east
Revealing frosty dried autumn leaves
Used as mulch to make plants feast
Light ice upon the birdbath
Birds will have ice water to drink
A chilled bath this morning
Will make everything shrink
The chorus of the songbirds
Singing my favorite tunes
I love what they've orchestrated
They're my missing link
All winter there was mostly

Apricot
Never worry, worry not -
You’re my pretty apricot.
You are here. my peach is not.
I tossed her when she grew a spot.
In a day or two, you will see
Just how we meet our destiny.

Apricot tree
In my garden, there’s an apricot
tree with pink fragrant blossoms that
fall from the branches one by
one to the ground. From a
tree, then tiny green
leaves sprouting out.
The fruit it
makes and
grows.
On
the full
apricot
tree, the young fruit
cover the branches
with sweet, juicy orange
apricots. They are very

Tranquil Dream
there was a snake bathing in the sunset
draped around the veins, the dead branches
winter never welcomes reptiles
but it wore twilight like a heat lamp jacket
back flat, tobacco treat burning sweet
the switchgrass swayed like waves in wind
the blades carried my wading body as it bobbed
and swayed to the scent of serenity
lavender and apricot bled in the

Pink Electric Apricot Cloud
Struck! Evening murk ink sky infultrated
Weapon copper key turns lock apricot
Crystal busy bunched clouds fluro painted
Fleshy salmon jump aboard paper yacht
Storm dealt in spledour of unicorn wings
Rooftop hooves unheard by screen bound many
Peach plumage gallops gaily, ombre brings
Daisy daggers to grey ordinary
Pirates fear nearness to pole flamingo
Neon flag slaps unsuspecting sailors
Phospher

Apricot Trees
Apricot Trees
David J Walker
My mother randomly spoke of the beauty
She saw in trees that lined
The streets in town
The boughs and branches placed
in parks and esplanades on Arbor days in the
all but forgotten past now hidden in the ether
Of dementia that was literally riddling her mind
But If I listened carefully
There was a

Apricot Faerie and Her Unicorn
Purple butterflies flooded the meadow that morn
Cherry blossoms, Queen Anne’s lace and daisies smiled
This was the reunion of the apricot faerie and her unicorn
A prophecy fulfilled, a joyous gift of extra meadow light.
Ribbons of exquisite loveliness flooded the our hearts
As we recognized the gloriousness of the celestial pair.
They were delicate, gracious, unwittingly orchidaceous.
The punctilious sun

Another Apricot Sunrise
It was just one of those splendid days, which held no excitement;
Moreover it required none, for in its stillness, I was content.
Lying on the forest green grass, luxurious blue skies in my eyes,
Summer winds brought me nature's music, and I needed no surprise.
I found fun shapes in the clouds, and now and then I dozed

The Apricot
what will you write of the apricot,
when the fruit has fallen for the last time?
'and the last apricot was
like his last letter
received a decade ago;
that was very little to quench my thirst
but his memories were enough to last for the lifetime'!
He fuel the flames of her esse
He is the essences

The Persistence of a Memory of Apricot Shampoo
The Persistence of a Memory of Apricot Shampoo
by Michael R. Burch
For all that I remembered, I forgot
her name, her face, the reason that we loved...
and yet I hold her close within my thought:
I feel the burnished weight of auburn hair
that fell across her face, the apricot
clean scent of her shampoo, the way she glowed
so palely

Apricot Skin Apricot Dress
Apricot skin
Apricot face
Apricot hands
Apricot knees
Apricot apricots
Apricot cat
Apricot paint
Apricot baby's bottom
In my world I always think
Of a pricey apricot dress
My husband's pal paid way too much for it
Wanting to impress a girl who modeled it at a table for us.
Wanting to show off that he had three hundred dollars,
He gave them three hundred dollars for that

Apricot Brandy

Who liked jelly candies and apricot brandy
While her teetotaler husband was away
She drank a bottle of brandy that day
When he was home enjoyed only the candy
