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!

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

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

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.

Glistening in the orchard
Healthy crunchy snack

Waiting to taste ripe and sweet
When time to pick comes

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

with a splash of juice

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

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

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

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.

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

my two best friends are
apples and peanut butter
chunky, not smooth: duh.

the cinnamon raisin kind?
