This poem was inspired by a prompt by Teisha LeShea of the Vocal support group Vocal Creators Saloon.
Here’s to my very favorite fruit
The apple’s versatility has no dispute.
Its pleasing flavor is absolute.
*
Apples have a lovely crunch.
Eat one every day with lunch.
Better go and buy a bunch.
*
Sweet or tart, go have a slice.
Shake it up with cinnamon spice.
Whatever your choice, the taste is nice.
*
Chop it for a fruit kabob.
Applesauce? Go scoop a glob.
At a party, they’re there to bob.
*
Bake them in a yummy pie.
With one a day, doctors needn’t apply,
And you’ll be the apple of my eye!
