I have eaten the strange
forbidden fruit
it is no ordinary fruit
it resembles an apple
sweet
vibrant red
pure
shape so inviting
but take one bite and you will see
how evil this fruit can be
bitter
rotten to the core
causing irrational behavior
heartbreak
deception
this is no ordinary fruit
like a no good car with a nice paint job
it will chew you up and spit you out
as you do the same
it will leave a bad taste that never goes away
this is no ordinary fruit
I have eaten this strange
forbidden
fruit

The ill tasting fruit, to represent the ills of a lifetime. We tend to chew on this mysterious plum all too often. Love gone sour, a poorly chosen occupation, an illness, a lost friend or family member, all the things that make us wish we had chosen differently, or that they would not have happened. But, such is life, and we struggle along.
Your poem was a great comparison of life's fate to choosing a bad fruit. You wrote with creativity and imagination. Your images and word choices were great. Liked this a lot. - Phil A.
