i dance around
smooth skin when
a sharp manipulation
begins
the execution
turning
slow and easy
to see
if i can peel
without breaking

The Beautiful Due
Very beautiful and thought-provoking. Will be reading this one again and again. Thank you.
I find your poem appealing.(Sorry, couldn't resist bad pun). Very nicely done!
nice one- reminds me of this movie "sleepless in seattle" when meg ryan peeled the apple without breaking…
Getting under the layers, trying to unravel what lies within without breaking…nice image for the person, for yourself. Even a bit of fruit can serve great purposes for the writer…lovely little write.
When you cut like that/ circular/ the knife held true/ around the apple globe/ you end up with/ a spiral peel( which is 2nd best to sex a peel)Ha!Love,Tiger Windwalker
nice…save the peels i will eat them…
my grandson loves those unbroken peels …
I live on the wild side as I leave the peels on…both for pie and sauce. ;-)Blessings.
I just love the way your clever mind works! I try not to break the peel when I'm making an apple pie. Makes it so much more interesting.
The core is solid,full of promise,full of hope.I like this, Nancy.
