Come, comfort me with apples,
or your presence,
perhaps a small smile at night.

APPLE ILLUSTRATIONS
As an artist, my niche was food illustration. It would probably be even more descriptive to say that I was a fruit illustrator. I have certainly illustrated a lot of apples, and can even paint them from memory. Below are paintings of apples that were used on food packaging. There are a few close-ups, as well as a few printed labels.
Some of these paintings were rendered with markers and colored pencils. Others were created with watercolor dyes. All of my paintings were done before Photoshop existed. I have a blog where I describe my technique and have a lot more information. It is at:

Forgotten Harvest……..
A very old apple tree near a 142 year old, vacant farm house. Large, red, apples past their prime. I am not sure about the variety of apple, but typically these are not the types found laying about…usually Crabapples.
Trying Villanelle Poetry
The wind blows fiercely in the open sky
The wind blows fiercely,
the birds chatter by,
in the open sky.
The clothes hanging in the open
tend to go for a nice fly when
the wind blows fiercely.
The voices become distant and weak
but the whispers of the nature
in the open sky.
The apples drop down the massive tree
residing in front of my house when
the wind blows fiercely.
The leaves and the twigs flying by
unperturbed, aimlessly
in the open sky.
The power of the nature can be seen,
its might can be experienced when
the wind blows fiercely
in the open sky.

1. Five tercets and a quatrain with 8-10 syllables in every line.

*I haven’t paid any attention to the number of syllables, since I was trying this form of poetry for the first time.

Thoughts on a Friday
Some excerpts from Robert Frost's "After Apple-Picking" now when there are so many apples to be picked...
My long two-pointed ladder's sticking through a tree
Toward heaven still,
And there's a barrel that I didn't fill
Beside it, and there may be two or three
Apples I didn't pick upon some bough.
But I am done with apple-picking now....
Them Apples
