Apple a Day!!


gaze at that face

do you see evil there

peddling her apples ~ 

look if you dare 

 

darkness her milieu

spells so grotesque

don’t let her fool you ~

think ‘Kafkaesque’


what you can’t see

undoubtedly there

heart made of stone ~ 

you don’t stand a prayer 


steer clear of this ghoul

on All Hallows Eve

 I've given fair warning ~

‘tis best you believe

    She looks like my Aunt Emma. The apple? Poisoned. No Doubt.

    Peddling, Paddling, Pedaling her apples, whatever she's doing with them, that is NOT a ghoulish face! I'm trying to heed the warning, but I fear she's captured my fancy! Great Halloween fun! Well done.

    Friendly smiles don't always mean friend. Some are there to do you in. I love your take on this fairytale!

    All is not as it seems, especially when it comes to apples, as Snow White found out. Love this Helen. Perfect take on the crone.

    Halloween fun! Thanks for the warning
    although I'd probably end up taking the apple anyway...

    Is that you, Helen?! <3 :-D Don't you look wonderful! Even if it's not, I'd totally invite her in for tea!

    Great verse, love the rhyme, especially:

    "darkness her milieu
    spells so grotesque
    don’t let her fool you
    think ‘Kafkaesque’ " - fabulous :-)
