Apple
Niah8-21-2014
This assignment began as a creative writing exercise to get the mind moving. We had read a couple of poems to start and then she wrote her first draft. From that draft, we worked to develop the poem, expanding and fine tuning. We did not apply too many rules, making a choice to flow with ideas and playful word expression. FREE VERSE
1. Apple
2. The sweet, sweet flavor,
3. The crunchy texture
4. And the bright red skin
5. Oh the things it see's!
6. He started as a little flower,
7. Bloomed into a wee green fruit
8. That changed into the most beautiful red beauty.
9. He became who he was!
10. Little Old Man came and picked him off his tree.
11. Little Proud Apple was carried in a little round basket, off to Little Old Man's Little Sweet Wife.
12. She lovingly makes snacks for her little sweet grandchildren.
13. The day came and she plucked that little proud apple from the basket,
14. Sliced him in to little pieces,
15. Divided him up for her little sweet grandchildren.
16. Filled with joy, " This is the best apple ever!" the children squeeled. Oh the things they did say!
17. Oh, what a life that little apple had!
18. He saw the seasons change, the birds, the trees, the big bright moon, the nice hot sun, and so much more!
19. The little proud apple knew his adventure wasn't over just yet!
20. He left his 7 little seeds with the world! Oh, the things they will see!
The End
