Apple Trees

Apple Trees





Not so long
ago I ate an apple


I’m quite
partial to apple crumble


I saved the
pips, and put them in water


Little
shoots began to appear eight days later





All of them
I potted with delight


I watered
them most times at night


Its really
easy to grow them at home


Free fruit
just waiting to be grown





It wasn’t
long before there were stems


Small and
thin, my green little gems


Trees don’t
take much gardening


Free fruit
is rewarding





Why doesn’t
public parks have apple trees


Media
bombard us about vitamin C


Stay young
and healthy


Its not
just for the wealthy





Are we
starting to forget all things basic


Our life’s
it seems have become more hectic


There’s so
much we can grow


Its like we
don’t have the time to know





Let a apple
tree grow at leisure


Enjoy the
fruits of nature with pleasure


From a pip
that you have sown


Something
so nice can be your own





Imagine if
starving countries had millions of apple trees


This is
something that could be done with ease


A water
system could be put into plan


Without
profit helping your fellow man

sorry about that, i have done something wrong, good night

it wud be kool to have an ikkle garden but we live in a first floor flat

try putting a couple pot plants around flat and no i dont mean that kind of pot toxic

Nice poem. Makes me want to go out and buy apples!

i have allways wondered why parks and public places dont plant fruit trees or bushes, free fruit, some would benifit from it

When i was a lad, people seemed to have a lot more fruit tree's in their gardens. As much as you could carry without getting caught. Its called scrumping!

i use to love to go scrumping.

Me too. Remember hedge hopping?. You'd have a job trying that now, no one has front hedges anymore. Its all drives. Suppose you could car hop
