Our thoughts on food and cooking
In seventeen beats.

I love them so much,
Yet give me a Macintosh,
And I will decline.

Romanticize fall
all you want; i'll just eat this
apple, quite loudly.

Fall! Let's waltz ourselves
Down to the farmers' market...
Sweetangos are here!

Adam J. September 23, 2014

I ate about nine
apples right off of the branch.
I love picking time.

Apples of New Year
Dipped in gold honey so sweet
Soothes my heart and soul

Edibletcetera September 23, 2014

The apples of fall
end up in a pie so fine,
I wish they were mine.

El September 23, 2014

Rome, Spy, Ida Red
Yet all are quite delicious
Don't make me choose one

Apples? No, not yet!
Galas can wait -- there are plums!
And plums equal cake.

Or tortes, if fancy.
So -- "Miss Jackson" when nasty;
"Miss Burros," fancy.

Juicy Macintosh
Glistening in the orchard
Healthy crunchy snack

Sauertea September 20, 2014

Fuji on my tree
Waiting to taste ripe and sweet
When time to pick comes

Rita D. September 20, 2014

my dad loved apples
the sweet crisp crunch of each bite
see him smiling now

an apple haiku
comes together in a crunch
with a splash of juice

Andrew W. September 19, 2014

I peel my apples
Don't like skin between my teeth
And I hate to floss

Emi B. September 19, 2014

apple bottom jeans,
boots with the fur (with the fur),
the... okay, I'm done.

Sarah J. September 25, 2014

The watermelon
Of my eye just doesn't have the
The same ring to it.

The forbidden fruit
May have tempted Eve; not I
Unless it was pie

my fave

marymary September 19, 2014

the best apple is
crispy and sweet like a pear;
long live the Fuji

Kristin B. September 19, 2014

I prefer Gala
In the form of an apple
Rather than event

Mary-Elizabeth T. September 19, 2014

We each like one kind:
Russet, Macs, and Jonagold.
We don't even share.

Sarah M. September 19, 2014

"an apple a day
keeps the doctor away" does
not apply to me

Emi B. September 19, 2014

sj, you are right.
pink ladies beat all others.

Sarah J. September 19, 2014

Pink Lady, she’s the
cool new girl. Granny Smith can
retire in peace.

Hollis M. September 19, 2014

Haters gonna hate
But my only apple love
Is the Macintosh.
