Wiggly Apple Worm

Today is number 25 of my 30-day quest to pen a poem a day in recognition of April poetry month for 2013. With only five days to go, I am well on my way to completing my goal!

Today’s humorous poem draws on worms in apples syndrome. Anyone that eats apples, especially fresh picked from the tree, eventually will come across a worm enjoying the fleshy fruit ahead of the human.

And now… without further ado, I give you the poem...

Wiggly Apple Worm

Wiggly Apple Worm penetrated the skin

Digging deeply into sweet fleshy fruit

Eating its way down to the core

Of a zesty apple still ripening

On a newly grown tender tree branch

One warm summer afternoon

Wiggly’s apple pick—

A great looking Granny Smith

I had been planning

To harvest and devour myself as soon as

The tree’s nourishment

Permitted the orb to grow a wee bit larger

Apparently, all the while I

Kept a watchful eye on the apple

The worm, who lives out of doors,

Held an attentive eye on me—

His competition—thus allowing himself

To beat me to the punch—to

Jump the proverbial gun

Once the apple of our eye reached its peak
