Three for the price of one! I love this simple image of
a bitten apple carelessly left on a magazine page...
and being me I wrote three ...you choose which one you
like and if you have the time-let me know.
And once again, thanks Willow for this venue!
Memories
Apples, apples apples.
Mere images of apples
Make my mouth water
And my mind wanders
To our past family dinners
With pork roasts and applesauce
And spicy hot apple cider
Warming cold hands returning
from snowball fights or walks at night
And best of all the Dutch Apple Pie
That I now make while remembering
Christmases past
While looking forward to today.
Apple Haiku #1
Crunchy bites
Sticky juice drips down my chin
Crisp delight
Apple Haiku #2
Cold hands grasp
Warm mugs of apple cider
Spiced with love
Pauls's favorite Dutch Apple Pie Below is a photo of the recipe-
click on the photo to enlarge so you can read it! I use parchment paper on the bottom
and the sides of the springform pan. That way nothing sticks! Very rich and yummy.
Apple haiku #1 .... love it!
ReplyDeleteApple Haiku #1 is also my favorite. I would also like a piece of that dutch apple pie but I could perhaps be satisfied with a recipe if that is at all possible?
ReplyDelete"Memories" has my vote!
ReplyDeleteAlthough haiku #1 seems to be more in keeping with the hint of oriental mysticism, I prefer Haiku #2 because I enjoy a straight forward "HEY YEAH" after I read something. lol
ReplyDeleteThe apple, so versatile...just like you are with words.
ReplyDeleteall three are great, but now I'm in the mood to bake an apple pie!
ReplyDeleteNumber one paints a picture. I find that appealing.
ReplyDeleteBoth the poetry and the pie are tops. I could really go for a slice.
ReplyDeleteLovely memories. Could you send me a piece of that pie. It looks absolutely delicious :)
ReplyDeleteMemories is a priceless slice of life - family, food and holiday. My favorite (at this moment). :)
ReplyDeleteHaikus are Ok, but apple pie poems are perfect!
ReplyDeleteRe politics here... we are in flux between several ages.
Domination and cooperation.
Fossil and renewable.
Image and reality.
Whatever the main parties do, it takes a small party like the Greens to initiate change. That's what's happening here! So exciting.
I loved all three of them. Wonderful magpie! =)

I love them all..the list of pleasures..yummy food really got me! #1...
ReplyDeleteoh i like the first as it stirred up quite a few childhood memories...nice magpies...
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy the triple treat. But I loved Haiku #1 best!
ReplyDeleteHmm...I can't decide between both the haikus which is my favorite! What wonderful imagery you have painted. Great Mag! Or, Mags! :)
ReplyDeletethey are all three very nice - but my favorite is the haiku no. 1 - fantastic - and the picture - yummy…
ReplyDeletehere's my magpie
I have to say I like the #2 haiku best, but all three are nice. Ah, and the Dutch apple pie looks soooo good!
ReplyDeleteYum for the haikus! They make me wish for apple season.
ReplyDeleteGives a new meaning to nice as pie... :) lol
ReplyDeleteExcellent magpie x3! :o)
ReplyDeleteI like the last one best, with the spice.
ReplyDeleteI love them all, Kathe! Why should we have to choose?

While I am in the mood for reminiscing "Memories" evokes such lovely scents and sounds but think the sheer simplicity of haiku#1 wins the day.
ReplyDeleteI like them all. Totally gonna check out that apple pie recipe, it looks soooo good!
ReplyDeleteMemories, definitely (but I'm an old sentimental softie!).
ReplyDeletemy mouth is watering... i have to say, i like apple haiku #1 the best... short and deliciously sweet. thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteThe first one! The thought of warm hands, cold walks and hot spicy apple cider! Winter imagery, I adore!
ReplyDeleteThey are all filled with warm goodness but I like haiku 2 the best since I like the image of "cold hands grasping mugs of hot cider spiced with love." Seems we are both on the same page thinking delicious autumn thoughts. :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed all 3... the apple pie looks yummy. Will now have to find something to satisfy the craving.
ReplyDeleteloved the apple cider haiku.
ReplyDeletelovely rhythm and as warm as the words
Liked all the 3, but my best vote goes for the first, Memories. It paints a cosy picture you can almost relate to... and do share the apple pie recipes.. I'm sure after reading your mags everyone's craving for it..
ReplyDeleteKathew this is just awesome...so much to take in here....with a recipe and all! Delicious Magpie!
ReplyDelete:-)
Hi K. I like all three but the one about memories is my favorite. Makes me want to bake an apple pie. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteQMM
Oh you had to throw in the Yummy picture of that apple pie...I am hungry...Nice Magpie...bkm
ReplyDeleteI liked them all, but apple haiku #2 is my favorite. They were all three very vivid. Thanks also for stopping by at Life is Good. I appreciate your nice comment.
ReplyDeleteIs it all right if I enjoy them all? So nice to know there were other families out there who had applesauce with their pork roasts: I could taste that whole poem--happily. Haikus are perfect. Thank you for sharing all of these, and thanks for the kind words you left on my blog...
ReplyDeleteApple haiku #2 is my favorite. In fact, I love it.
ReplyDeleteWould you believe that I have never made an apple pie?
Oh my!
I might try
This recipe by

word verification is somewhat appropriate-sounding: "ovencip"
After reading it again, Haiku #2 kinda grows on you. It's more emotive.
