Whose Apples? Comments

I enjoyed this very much, especially the punchline at the end of each stanza! The voices are well defined - and the gardener definitely doesn't own 'his apples' - great idea, cunningly executed! x Jan

Very lovely poem! i love the way you describe each creature's version of tree. It blends and shows much feeling. I love it! it's so peaceful and it calms me. kat, =)

A marvellous poem, I found it by chance. Feel lucky to read it - very fresh and vivid, just made my day. Thank you!

A wonderful poem. I love the way stanza two and three serve to disprove the gardener's claim that; 'This is my garden; my apple tree...' Magnificent images - 'My yellow chisel bill invades the flesh...' is a linguistic delight that conjures a spectacular image. S :)

What a fab poem, I love it when the same idea marinates and creates very different flavours. Clever and witty and I love the idea of drunken wasps (especially if they climb in the watered down jam in a jar! !) *is that cruel? * Cool poem(s) Paul - Enjoyed! HG: -) xx
