Hello Kim. I really like this poem. It really is my sort of poem which relates back to biblical stories. Like my Salome. Gillian Clarke writes in a very similar style which links biblical and historical characters. I like the way that you make the apple sound like a person and that makes the poem sensuous. Only thing which I don't think fits in is the word Samey. I think it spoils the overall effect of the poem but that's just me. Otherwise brilliant you never cease to amaze. x
