The Macintosh apple a work of art
As seen when skin and pulp do part
Bright red and green skin so smooth
A cute stem is poised from the root
A taste of sweet flesh from tart surround
Makes this apple so profound
The scent of apple orchard trees
Autumn delight on the breeze
Enjoy the juicy white pulp flavor
A Macintosh apple is meant to savor.

I don’t remember where you are. There are still farms and fruit orchards around here (some now wineries).

Ohhh–but no red apples? 😉
Well, there’s probably beautiful scenery where there are no people.

I think most produce is shipped in. Our growing season I too short. We’re more of a meat and potatoes state😀

There are gorgeous mountains in some areas and of course Yellowstone National Park, the Tetons, Jackson Hole etc, but mostly prairie surrounding Cheyenne, the capitol, where I live.

We love apples too. As we run seven commuity orchards we are often asked what different varetys taste like. You have inspired me to try and put the flavours in verse…

Another apple fan! I’ve not come across a Macintosh apple, Cheryl, but I would love to after reading your poem. The rhyming couplets work well, and your poem appeals to the senses, especially the ‘bright red and green skin so smooth’, and the ‘sweet flesh from tart surround’.
