strange
the taste
of an appelliefie
sobering
when flavor
can not be defined
wrapped within dried leaves
sour and sweetness
brings tenderness,
moist and
lusciousness
open
drift among the stars …

I enjoyed how you used a humble fruit as a metaphor for the complexities of life itself. Very little is black or white, sweet or sour, good or bad and we must be open to all the possibilities. Some people work much too hard trying to define and miss the opportunities to truly experience. Peace, Liz

For the moment I know not what the word "appelliefie" means but somehow the poem leaves me feeling sort of sad and empty. Perhaps this wasn't the goal of the piece at all but it's the way I feeling the morning. I wish you much luck in the contest.
Sincerely,
Leo Long

Dear Leo
It's a fruit. In the authors note there is reference to Myra's poem on the appelliefie. Take a look, she has a photo of an appelliefie fruit. I think you have grasped the 'core' of the poem very well. One thing is that there is always a 'way out'. We need to discover 'joy' in everything! Blessings to you and thank you reading and commenting on my poem. Frans

Hey this is beautiful my friend, love the imagery, it does make one feel to drift as if in dream.
Very wonderful in all, a dramatic sweep.
I wish you well in the contest!

You write the essence of the universe ...
for how wondrous that kokervrug means exactly that: womb and cocoon that burst open to set free the possibility of new Life.
Thank you for this endopathic answer. The implications are vast.
Good luck, Poet.

I know what else leaves you in awe, and it rhymes with 'sticks'.
