This year was an off year for apples. At least it was in my yard. Others in my neighborhood reported a record year as far as the number of apples on their trees goes. However, my trees only really invest in producing apples every other year. And this year they were saving their energy to reach for the sun. In 2017, I wrote Strawberry Cheesecake Applesauce. That treat always makes me drool. This year I’m writing Chocolate Covered Cherries Applesauce, which is another treat that will make you be rude and salivate.

So, the dog has been handed from owner to owner, until she’s become too much to handle, and now, the law is involved.

Poems that make you smile

Poems that make you groan

Poems that make you wonder

Why you're reading them alone

Poems that rhyme with rhythm

Poems that simply don't

Poems that to you make sense

Poems that surely won't

Who writes these poems anyway

Whose mind has gone astray

Just tell your tales the normal way

I don't have time to play

Poetry fans will like them

Laureates will not

Short stories added for a treat

To thicken out the plot

While others can tell you how to do these things, only one person in the world can ever really make you do them - and that person is you.
