What is her favorite fruit?: The simple Apple
Why is it her favorite fruit?: Rouge loves the simple, underappriciated little apple because of its abundance an tones of flavour. The likes the texture of this juicy fruit between her teeth. She also loves apples because the grass always tastes sweeter under the shade of an apple tree. The fallen apples even make her feel a little woozy and silly but she likes to share them with her 'dates'
Short poem about her favorite fruit: I'm so sorry it's not short but I love this poem so so much!!
Rain hazes a street cart's green umbrella but not its apples, heaped in paper cartons, dry under cling film. The apple man,
who shirrs his mouth as though eating tart fruit, exhibits four like racehorses at auction: Blacktwig, Holland, Crimson King, Salome.
I tried one and its cold grain jolted memory: a hill where meager apples fell so bruised that locals wondered why we scooped them up,
my friend and I, in matching navy blazers. One bite and I heard her laughter toll, free as school's out, her face flushed in late sun.
I asked the apple merchant for another, jaunty as Cezanne's still-life reds and yellows, having more life than stillness, telling us,
uncut, unpeeled, they are not for the feast but for themselves, and building strength to fly at any moment, leap from a skewed bowl,
whirl in the air, and roll off a tilted table. Fruit-stand vendor, master of Northern Spies, let a loose apple teach me how to spin
at random, burn in light and rave in shadows. Bring me a Winesap like the one Eve tasted, savored and shared, and asked for more.
No fool, she knew that beauty strikes just once, hard, never in comfort. For that bitter fruit, tasting of earth and song, I'd risk exile.
The air is bland here. I would forfeit mist for hail, put on a robe of dandelions, and run out, broken, to weep and curse — for joy.
~Credit goes to the writer of this poem! I don't Remember who it is but Im looking!
