Poetry About Apples
Poetry about apples moves through orchards, lunchboxes, autumn baskets, red skins, green tartness, seeds, pies, and the old symbolic fruit of hunger and choice.
An apple can be ordinary and mythic at once: snack, harvest, temptation, gift, memory, and a small round world held in the palm.

Orchard
A poem about apple trees in autumn.
The orchard leaned
into autumn
with pockets full
of red light.
Every branch
offered gravity
something sweet.

Lunchbox
A childhood apple.
The apple rolled
against the sandwich,
bright proof
someone had packed
a little care
beside the school day.
- Theo Reed
Seed Star
Wonder inside a cut apple.
Cut crosswise,
the apple held
a star of seeds.
Even fruit
keeps a secret sky.
