Pre-digital childhood

Remembering a pre-digital childhood; the, now, quaint pleasures of Autumn: orchards weighed down with ripe apples........ ripe for robbing, berries and damsons ready for picking. This was one of my first poems, I haven't seen it in a  long time.


   Held Apple High.

 

There's a place for me
up among the branches
of an ivy-draped lord.
 

Crab-appled;
golden treasures mixed
with stars of leaves.
 

There, inside the old elbow,
with Autumn breezes
close by shoulder,
 

quiet as an owl
I'd love to be.
