Apple

The random word generator chose: Apple

I have to admit, this one was a little more difficult because I was trying to find a way to write about an apple but not make it sound like a kid’s book. So, I went went the perspective of writing from an apple’s point of view.

You won’t pick me out of the bunch
I’m bruised from careless hands
People who dropped all that I am
And threw me back in the pile


I watch you scan the others
Touching them to see if they’re good enough
Your fingers brushing their skin
Looking for imperfections
You always put them back down


I close my eyes as I feel
Myself fit perfectly in your palm
You look concerned when you
See how thoughtless people had handled me before


You smile in a way that feels
Like home
Your show a kindness I’ve
Never known


“Perfect”

    About My Poems

    I’m working on honing in on my writing. One of the ways I’m doing that is to diving into other mediums of art (like poetry). I’m sharing excerpts of my thoughts. I grab inspiration from many places, not just my life; if you have a topic you’d like for me to try to write about, comment it.
