This poem is deliciously invitingly written as well as orally received! It brings back my New Hampshire childhood memories of picking apples at a local apple orchard farm. Thank you for this sumptuously delicious tribute to the apple!
Love this Sherman! You are a gifted poet. I come back to the myth of Adam and Eve so often. Such a powerful allegory for the creation of human consciousness. Yet so horribly misunderstood.
Wonderful “Free will is more
delicious than fate.”
"Don't attend the tribunal..." very nice.
Ah, the delicious membrillo fruit.

I so enjoyed this poem! Memories from my childhood in New Hampshire of picking bright red & green apples in the orchards on various farms & orchards.
Love it! Perfect for the fall season.
The apple of my eye
is processed into pie.
Best served ala mode
and free of the guilt
that I am told,
exists with my gender
and the need to surrender
to the temptations of life.
Now bring me knife.
You’ve done it again. What a great poem! And a word of praise from me for the Pink Lady!
While we can...
Yes
Mere words cannot describe how much I adore this. 💖 🍎💖🍎💖
Dear Sherman,
Beautiful poem.
I love this: "You and the apple are beautiful to the core."
Thanks for sharing!
Love

Ode to Apple, I've pretty much quit the blame, trying to stay sweet not sour.
Love this poem! I could almost taste the tartness of the Granny Smith sitting on my kitchen counter. Now I have to find out what a "quince" is!
One of the best poems into which I have bitten. Both whimsical and philosophical. Thanks Sherman.
