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.

Poetics: Exploring the senses in Food Poetry
Ideas come and go, trends
Like styles of clothes
Or songs that bend
Feelings and thoughts
In different ways
It’s like your mind’s a maze
Every day, month or year
Your imagination’s a seer
Of what was, and what will be
Around the bend.

dVerse — Quadrille Monday #206 — Around the Bend
A new term, new teacher and class
Get pencils, papers and books that pass
Forget the ruler and chalk
They cause teachers to balk
Oh and a new uniform too
So everyone looks alike in school
It’s a staple you need that helps you to learn
On that the board is frequently stern
And then there’s homework, a student’s lament
Only worked on their home firmament
And never forget about that bus
Riding to and from and causing no muss!
Some look forward to starting school
Me? I’d rather sit by a pool.

MLMM Monday Wordle #386
Here are this week’s questions:
1. Is there a particular song that makes you cry or become emotional? Quite a few, because I am very emotional. I heard this song and rarely listen to it again, because it’s upsetting, like it was today for writing this:

2. Is there a particular song you cannot stand? Rap doesn’t impress me
3. Does any particular song remind you of someone? One above and album below
4. Do you have a favourite song? The album by Savage Garden – 1997 has many songs I love. I can’t pick just one.
Gratitude: I am grateful to have some new interest in my blog, and wish some older bloggers I miss would come back to the platform. And rain, thank the heavens!

Share Your World 19th August
Shocked at his swollen sore throat
Double chins formed a fleshy moat
Skin was spread so wide
Eyes couldn’t deny
When bathing, he might start to float!

Laughing Along With A Limerick
Pieces of beings held in memory, the bliss of arms holding me tight, particles of breath felt on my neck; even heartache can be a form of pleasure. The feelings sometimes called a thunder of emotion, causing a leaping of my heart, are all explained in a story of passion. Everyone needs a form of this story.

Lucky Dip – Saturday Mix, 17 August 2024
I could sit here in my rocker, making another stitch to embroider, creating a well sewn piece of art, almost by rote, thus my mind starts a contemplation. Earlier I read a survey stating a quote that should be taken to that small room in my house, dropped and flushed. Being old and yes, crotchety especially when it comes to disparaging the military. JD Vance is bad enough just on the surface, relating to women in disgusting ways, remarks with political name calling and serving up Project 2025 ideas, which would take us back a century, but his six month in a non combat zone writing reports may qualify him a veteran but calling down other veterans is a red flag. Lowering himself to be on a ticket with Trump ought to tell you everything about him already, and why did he change his name? He mirrors Trump, speaking over interviewers, not answering direct questions…isn’t that questionable?
