PAD Challenge Day 21: Apples Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree

PAD Challenge Day 21: Write a trope poem.

Apples Doesn't Fall Too Far From the Tree

Since my youth I could sense it 

As I stemmed and branched out

I could really smell it by the roots

That the apples on my family tree 

We're not all spoiled

Rotten to the core 

Poor at fruiting other fruit 

Filled with fungus and worms...

Some are the apple of many eyes

true apples for apples 

Sweet as pie

Got the sauce

The juice The butter and the jam

A little cider and spice 

Depending on how you try to 

slice dice or peel back on the fam

Not all are apple turnovers 

pretending to be peachy

Immature and leachy

Good at playing apples to apples 

with their own branch

for the tree to stumble and crumble 

Now, how about these apples?

I'm one of the golden ones

that knows how to teach 

one to pick a good one.

Like the one we need a day

Love you to the core 

despite flawed roots 

because I'm a descent of the tree  

that many thought would fall

And I still stand by what 

my mother said, many years ago,

"It ain't always the leaning tree."
