~~Honey Crisp Apple~ (Haiku)

Missing image
Her white flesh hidden
by a scarlet cloak, temptress
apple calls to me

    No wonder Adam couldn't resist the apple in the Garden of Eden! Enjoyed your 'seductive' poem, Sis! Best of Luck in the contest!

    Love Ya!

    I have always bee a great fan of those who are able to pen Haiku. (mine come out either like underdone chicken or burnt brownies) Yours here is lovely and provides as gentle a view as your full poems. Very pastoral and gentle. I adore the combination of Apple and Temptation, very sensual and difficult to refuse. This is another creative wonder here you have penned. Oh and thank you so much for stopping and commenting on my poem “The Preacher’s Song” and the generosity of your applause. Blessings and best wishes, richard

    Now this one I get. It amazes me that a Haiku can have such tension built into it. Makes me want to dive in myself, even though I don't really like raw apples. Even the colors lend to the message. :-)

    very good

    Very nicely done. This had a real "adult" feel to it and yet very natural.

    Beautiful images you created.
    thanks,
    John

    This was sweet and crisp , the image of the soft white flesh enrobed in red satin was an amazing analogy. Beautiful use of metaphor.

    Now you made me wish it was Setember.....that is when we take a ride to the mts..where the apples come fresh out of the orchard ( pick your own) nd cider is a perk that we also bring home. To me it is sort of the official opening of fall season . Grat write Eve....willya share with Adam ?

    refreshing

    enjoyed this 5.7.5 format; a delicious poem, in many ways. enjoyed the levels in this haiku...uplifting & tempting & cheeky & beautiful all at once: quite an achievement for such a minimalsit form.

    Hi Susan:
    A lovely Haiku with a beautiful message. I must say I can almost taste that crisp Apple. Thank you for sharing it with us. Bill

    Dear Susan,
    A tempting haiku indeed. But hey!! Brida told me NEVER to have CAPITAL letters in a haiku. Evidently there are no capital letters in the Japanese language therefore they aren't permitted in haiku or senryu writing. (Aren't I the picky one?)
    Love and hugs, XXX Hugh.

    I'm glad you posted this one sis, however I never thought of an apple that way before. haha Perhaps you could title it "Lady in Red" but that's just me . Keep up the wonderful work.

    Love and hugssss

    Lovely piece miss blushfulmoon. I love how you have sexily described the apple, and made it sound as if it was about something other than edible fruit. Nicely done.
