    Apple Montage

    Sneaking around
    with Cousin Jenny,
    smoking menthol
    beyond the sheds.

    Late summer vacation 1973
    in the backwoods of Tennessee.

    To the right
    behind the barn
    were apple trees.

    There were several
    of those trees
    and other trees
    behind them
    beyond a field
    and behind them, other trees.

    Later, I stood near
    as a crowd
    watched Pops and my Uncle
    cooking apple butter;
    stirring the brown gunk,
    boiling in a huge black kettle.

    I saw my father
    secretly pass
    a wine bottle
    to my Uncle Clarence.

    I went from
    breathing cold mist
    out back behind the barn,
    to breathing
    the hot misty steam.

    The air smelled of apple fumes
    and strong booze.

    Good let's discuss this now

    Not sure what's left to discuss, reposting this one for comment and critique from the newer readers here, and future readers.

    while pretending to be sober

    I just noticed this post in the archives.

    Perhaps PJR doesn't post here now because he stays too drunk to pretend to be sober?

    Apple Montage

    Sneaking around
    with Cousin Jenny,
    smoking menthol
    beyond the sheds.

    Late summer vacation 1973
    in the backwoods of Tennessee.

    To the right
    behind the barn
    were apple trees.

    There were several
    of those trees
    and other trees
    behind them
    beyond a field
    and behind them, other trees.

    Later, I stood near
    as a crowd
    watched Pops and my Uncle
    cooking apple butter;
    stirring the brown gunk,
    boiling in a huge black kettle.

    I saw my father
    secretly pass
    a wine bottle
    to my Uncle Clarence.

    I went from
    breathing cold mist
    out back behind the barn,
    to breathing
    the hot misty steam.

    The air smelled of apple fumes
    and strong booze.

    -Will Dockery

    One of the all-time best....

    Writes Peter J. Ross... who is too ignorant to appreciate the poetry
    of two greats like Edgar Allan Poe and William Blake.....

    In fact, very similar to Michael Pendragon's delusions of being a better poet than T.S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams and e.e. cummings.
