Array ( [sid] => 112074 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Plant An Apple Pie [time] => 2005-12-25 17:16:40 [hometext] => [bodytext] => If the garden had a lemon tree, perhaps then would be ade
there, or at least to hide under its shade.
Then the other tree would have been left alone.
Perhaps, we would still have a home.
No climbing, no reaching, no fall
of mankind, no exile at all.
But you see,
Then, no you or me.

The lovely flowers from the lemon tree
were they not there
to be found in the garden?
Or were eyes already blind
a fault of mankind.
They searched not far
Looked around, down, but not up to one star.

Well, a lemon tree was not needed, their minds became sour
puckering the hour.
Instead, the apple tree, and blossoms sweet
was where mankind would meet.
Would hope come in time
for this new branch to climb
one ladder
To make them better?

Just one bite was taken, better for worse.
They fought against the thirst.
And today there are apples still
along with a free will.

Would it have been there, a lemon tree
for he and she,
would their home in the garden be lived longer
would the world be weaker or stronger?

But chosen was the apple from that tree in the garden.
It soon hardened
two hearts for awhile,
until one special day, He came down with a smile.

Sweeter than sweet blossoms from either.
Neither,
You and I
would be meeting high in the sky,
If the owner of the garden did not plant an apple pie.

Plant An Apple Pie

Fome jpob Meagan.

The poor apple brought man to fall.
But they depict Blessed Mother also with an apple in her hand, as second eve.
I have a picture of her with the apple in the hand in my poem "Mater Admirabilis and the Criminal"
Here, the Apple brought nothing but blessing.
Loved this fine job Meagan.

Blessings
Elizabeth

Dear Megan,
How lovely dear, and it does bring up many questions from your poem I read here. Yes, no matter what kind of tree that was not to be touched, I believe they would have done it anyway, for you see the woman was completely deceived, and the man being the her head, should have corrected her, but instead even blamed God for giving her to him! Now, isn't that just like a man? *smiles* and it goes on and on today.
You have such a nice format Megan, and I enjoy your poems very much. They make me think, and that's exactly what poets should do: Make you think?
Warm love
consue

A beautiful piece. Both enchanting and imaginative. And the
message is realized through beautiful poetic obscurity. Simply lovely.
I enjoyed this.

Plenty to absorb here Meagan. I like the way you expressed your thoughts, and emotions. The style you wrote this in is suited too...Nicely done.

Congratulations Meagan; this is a suberb piece of work. It is so uplifting. It reminds us that despite mans flaws, "He came down with a smile" and saved us from ourselves by giving us His own precious Son. I look forward to your next poem!
