Apple Children Poem by Leslie Philibert

Apple Children

Rating: 4.5


The fruit trees have not been baptised
children`s souls in limbo, in mist

Cold green fruit hangs in the rain,
it is a hole in the late afternoon.

They gave been punished by the battery of
the old priest`s car, hurried steps over wet gravel.

Neither heaven nor hell, the rounds of blossom unbroken,
pointless to walk through, should the rain cease.

The first four lines made perfect sense.

I like it. Not a fan of priests though. Creepy buggers.

A fine poem both in imagery and the language used.
