The Bite

I bit into an apple raw
Deep down until I reached the core
And there a seed caught in my tooth
Now could this be the seed of truth?

I put the seed atop my palm
And looked at it in puzzled qualm
Could this be the key to more?
The key to open up the door

I cut the seed to see inside
To find the truth it held in hide
But all I found was white of pulp
That dried my throat and made me gulp

It was that moment there and then
The seed was but a part of Zen
The whole for its regenerate
The process of rejuvenate

It was the counter will of prime
The adjunct of the spill of time

Yes it's all in the seed.

Lady,
The seed makes the deed.

I too bit hard and found a seed
but mine alas made my mouth bleed
Enjoying not the spill of blood
I wondered if I ever should
Pick apples from the tree of fruit
delicious yes, I'll not dispute
but buried in my flesh of gum
the meal I fear is not much fun

But you my friend, in perfect rhyme
take apples and make them divine
you've also made me love the way
by word of thought
you have your say!

Seymour,

It's never too old to teach an old dog new tricks..... even from an older dog!
