While

While sitting on a fence one day
Watching wind and leaf in play
I spied an apple pie in cool
That went from eyes to taste to drool

And in my mind I said a sigh
I would a piece this apple pie
But must get down upon the ground
To close the distance of surround

But on the ground my feet would touch
The grime of time and such and such
To step within the bog of press
And make me sink into distress

And there the hesitation re:
A thing to be or not to be
And I was at a quandaries stay
Bite the apple or not this day

But I was saved this coup of core
The pie had disappeared indoor

Thank you for the smiles and the always present hint of wisdom!

You are no Simple SYmon, Seymour..
You knew it would be rude to try to take that pie.
But had you managed to grab that pie we could have had it with our tea.
Loved your morning write
You make me smile!
~Hugs & Smiles & tea, Nancy~

It's great when you can take something simple and turn it into the impetus of our beginnings.  Wonderful write, Sy!

So, the early bird really does catch the worm, or pie, or perhaps you snooze you lose?

Great poem! Who of us has not weighed the cost of our actions to the point of indecision. Only to painfully watch a golden opportunity slip from our grasp. Be fore warned fate I'm hungry for pie today! Thanks
