The Brief Love of Worm & Apple

Prompt: Write two short poems about a worm meeting an apple. One from the worm’s perspective, one from the apple’s.

The Worm’s Perspective
Apple, oh Apple.
Your skin, shining
like a tiny sun.

Glorious flesh
caresses my eyes
(if I had any).

Your feel, your taste;
Oh Apple, it’s heaven.
Heaven in my almost-mouth.

The Apple’s Perspective
Ahhh! Get away!
Back, I say!
Don’t touch!
Don’t eat!
Oh, this curse
that we had to meet!

[The end. Ha!]
