Another fine collaboration with my blogger friend, Rose, the Poet Rummager. This is a reminder of what not to do when you see a neighbor’s fruitful tree.

I grabbed the apple.
From the neighbor’s tree, it hung-
too ripe to ignore.
I see you there, thief.
Mr. Jones’ silhouette flinched.
He grasped his cane tight.

Oh, this juicy treat!
Where can I conceal my sin?
My mouth whispered, Here.
Parted my mouth wide
with tongue wrapped around the orb.
The snake in me cheered.
Slid down my throat whole –
enlarged my Adams Apple.
Damn that Granny Smith.
I heard my skull crack.
Mr. Jones wiped his cane clean.
No more stealing fruits!

I ask that myself! I feel like I’m on a merry go round, waiting for it to stop do I can get off and do my stuff. I just can’t believe how I haven’t been able to find time to sit and write. But I hope soon I will get back to my regular writing schedule of some sort.
