Death Of Apples Poem by Barry Middleton

Death Of Apples

Rating: 5.0


when the best apple tree
was split and fell in a storm
there was grieving

because I remembered
climbing it
when it was in its prime

the best apple was at the top
and my mother cried
too high come down

I went and got it anyway
and it was the sweetest
and it was mine

when that apple tree fell
I learned a bitter truth
that good things never last

Thank you Mohammed for the comment and rating. It is true that nothing lasts but a shame that the good things cannot.
