Apple

January brings a
solitary apple
that clings in iridescence
to a lonely upper branch.

A desiccated beauty
And why only one?
Squirrels have not touched it
birds have left it be

Poison, profound or pious
I may never know
I’m reconciled to beauty alone
for only crows know truth

Thanks for reading Geoff!

Something you Oort to Know

There’s a comet coming
It’ll be here soon
Sometime in November
And visible at noon

The biggest one yet
Come place your bet
Is it the end of the world
Or just awesome unfurled

I'll jump in on this. This one is taken from my recently self published I Leered at The Carnage, it is copyrighted.

Hole Head
He sat
And ate
I peered through the hole
In his head
Into his thoughts
Through his dreams

Holy moly.

Lost

Oh how I miss the good old days
When people were nice and tender-hearted
When I had trees to climbs and birds to raise
And green fields where I would rest on with my buddies, feeling contented

But now I feel lost and deeply wretched
Craving for love and companionship and warmth
For out there people themselves are struggling in their tiring orbit
Or perhaps with this disgrace I must come to terms

I would turn to angels then
‘Cause by hearsay they’re pure and benevolent
Yet where they are and how to find them are beyond my ken
I’m crushed, impoverished, and disheartened…

(English is not my mother tongue and I don't know the rules of English verse.)

I like it!
I think you've captured the emotion!
