Apples Born in Springtime Magic
By Don Iannone

The mighty apple tree bears the weight
of her plump spring blossoms
proudly and gracefully,
knowing they represent
living messages
sent into a future
that she may never see.

And thus, we the story of life.

  4. Don, like Kathleen I found same lines very powerful "...living messages
    sent into a future that she may never see..."
    Its as if the apple tree in your poem is mother earth and the plum, heavy apples are we.
