Number of downloads: 1Tomorrow’s Seeds Each curve, an invitation to appease some hunger deep within. The epicure may see a flower’s fruit that’s sure to please the palette but the mind remains unsure. Its alabaster flesh awaits the touch of teeth and lips or eager tongue to taste fruition’s flavors; ripening that such a sweet delight may seldom go to waste. But colors fade; their crowns of gold or red will dissipate with age from pleasure’s light and in time’s wake, an aftertaste of dread will fill the mouth. Such is an artist’s plight to capture precious moments with their eye and gift tomorrows with those seeds which die. thx Syl! ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Hello, Hello Lori,
Thank you for coming by. Golden Delicious apples are my favorite. I am disappointed in the fact that no one has picked up on the duality of my sonnet or if they did, didn't mention it. I am glad you liked it though. You and a bunch of others are sorely missed here at MM. I do hope everything is wonderful in your life and that you have found a new job.
