How I'm loved  

Apples

Some call me pomes.

Delicious

Fruit of the Apple Tree,

also know as Malus sylvestris, of the rose family.

Try me…

I am best plucked at harvest,

some bright red or yellow,

still on tree.

Look for me in orchards,

tenderly cultivated to develop for pies or tarts.

Children climb my trunk, get onto limbs for fruit

not ripened yet…then get  tummy aches.

I’m the fruit that tempted Eve into original sin…

not my fault!
