Short Apples To Apples Poems

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....

Caramel Apples

Slowly melt some Caramel
over a low flame
dip a Granny Smith apple
set it on a plate
let the apple cool
open mouth 
Bite!


Candy Apples


Try 
melting some
red candy apple
ultra sweet dip mix
with a cup of corn syrup
dip apple in mix
let cool on a plate then eat



This is a double reverse Epulaeryu.....MMMMM sounds good doesn't it?...

The bite was a crunch.
So wonderful!
One's teeth could do that kind of thing.

Some later bites, performed with age,
cause pain, so awful, so dreadful!
One's bites can do that kind of thing.

But what was peel,
that part of the crunch and the munch?
Peeled off now, and thrown away.

Yet apples remain apples,
taste remains taste.
What is this thing called ever?

We wave good bye now
Yellow paper hearts
staple gunned to the bulletin board
flapping in the fan breeze
She nods at her work
The chalkboard washed and dried
And with gnashing teeth
One by one those staples pried from their chest board
 breaking, tearing the delicate paper-thin poems
One by one they break her hearts
On the desks, the apples molded
Like she did them
From seeds of wisdom she watched
their minds ripen...

Apple crisp or apple crumble
They are both desserts
That will make me stumble

Apple turnover or apple pie
They are both foods
That make me feel high

Apple cider or apple juice
They are both drinks
That make me feel loose

Candied apples or apples in caramel
Both are served on sticks
Of which nothing is comparable

You see I like fruits
And how they are served
If you pick all the roots
You’ll get what’s deserved...

They could be,
but might not be.
Closer,
but not too close.
Never assume things,
but run tests.
Recheck
to make sure,
because
things are not
aways what
they appear to be.
yes, apples are apples,
but
they are not all red.
