A crisp apple leaf
waves its bodies boldly in the wind,
perched alive and green in the apple
tree, the plump orb of green tinged
pink feeling heavy underneath.
Thank you for reading!

She claws her way out
of hell, Cerberus howling
breeze warms frigid air
Young buds stretch for blossoming
birds fluttering in the trees
