| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 11/26/07 at 04:39 PM But, George, apples DO scream to be bitten, don't they? This is the age of quarrel and chaos, and it will be as sad as every worsening news report until it isn't any longer. Love is rare. Thank you for writing it. |

| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 01/05/08 at 03:53 PM powerful write, my friend. you show the world the way it is, not the way it is told us it is, and what better way to tolerate and sift your way through it, but to seek out love as your companion and your guide to show us the ways, the most of which would be lost, save there is love. |

| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 03/17/09 at 06:03 PM Amazing poem to find with that title. The unexpected find is great for this poem, and the unexpected resolution too. The reversals and clarifications. Apple is a rich metaphor for life and for the blatant shocking truth. |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 08/26/09 at 12:12 AM oh man oh man oh man. What a poem! There is one line that actually brought a tear and an impulse to kneel. It was the turning point in your poem and for me... "while I pray for the future." Genius poem. Inspiring. Thanks for the gift, George. |
