Charles Rennie Macintosh
as an architect was at a loss
So spent time painting garden flowers*
in off-beat colours for hours&hours

Crispy Macintosh Apples
Red with Sunset hue
Peeled and sliced on the bias
Soaked in apple dew ;
Maple syrup, Too
Oven Baked
Sniff!

I once met a local writer at the library named Brian O'Leary 
he was there to meet budding writers, that was me    
he asked me if I had read Stone Angel by Margaret Atwood
I was so inspired by him I knew then that I most certainly would,

Let my remains be not mourned or wasted
Entombed, cremated, sautéed or basted
Enriching the soil below
Where lush apple trees grow
I'll be in the best Macintosh anyone's tasted!

If one were laid beneath an apple tree  
Very nourishing that would surely be 
Apple pie to die for  
From an earthling's deep core  
Whose epitaph could read “Bon Appetit."

I sunk my teeth in
And chomped loudly
I pulled away
juice dribbling down my chin

My macintosh apple
Red as a rose
Sweet as sugar
Juicy like an orange
Shiny like lip gloss
Deformed like a blob
Crunched like chips
Perfect as a picture
Tasted like Heaven

My perfect little apple
Reminds me of the 
Great things our planet 
Has to offer... 
Just like our own little Heaven
We just have to look a little harder...

Round heels of crumpets,
aromatic lavender jam.
Poached eggs in a skillet,
succulent portions of ham.
An awakening stretch had heralded
a yawn mouthed long and loud.
While rain fell down in splatters
from the dark pewter clouds. 

Dated Macintosh slicker,
hoary exhausted gum boots.
Tenacious steps into nature
in search of family and roots.
The fallacies of the wind
twists hair into long plaits.
Across wide fields of enchantment
new journeys await....
