asks us to write about "The Journey"ubiquitous pip of that apple
shaken to the core
righted itself
tiny in size
ever so gifted
it knew what was expected of it
voyage from earth to fruition
had been arduous
so very tiring
no way it had
deterred him from
his pre-ordained chain of being
it awaited yet again for its turn
to be germinated into
excursion of life
holing into soil
half woken up dreams
culminated into a tree of stature
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Look out for more creativity here...

beautiful... my favorite line... "it awaited yet again for its turn

excursion of life"
You put the miracle of nature into words. Well done

I really don't see, just a fruit, in the line .. such powerful words.
After several reads, I can actually see the tree growing. Well done.
It is beautifully written..has a definitve beginning and a definite end, and what more, it has a definite middle which most poems lack...well done indeed!
I like the first two stanzas very much...and love the quirky way you went with the prompt!
Lovely. Even a seed has its journey!
I am amazed by your writing again
A very nice one, Gautami. To the core...
Your link is an amazing discovery Gautami, and so much talent, thanks to Writer's island, I will be sure to stop-by and take a peek during my blogging sessions.
Hi Gautami,
I smell an apple pie with this poem. Yet another chain. :)

I so admire those who can write poetry - I think it is a talent muchmore skilled than writing another genre. You did it fantasticaly here. Kudos
The chain of life as viewed by a tiny apple pip. How wonderful and whimsical.
mother natures own,,, "johnny appleseed"!!!!!
What a beautiful haunting vision you've created in prose, I love the birth and rebirth..
It's lovely.
Peace, Kai
Mmmmmmm! Lovely work this week!

What a fabulous take on the prompt, Guatami! A wonderful description of the chain of nature.
great prompt response - metaphorical, too
A refreshing perspective - life's tiny beginnings.
It just gets better and better. Your words-sharp and direct-lead us to the answer. Wonderful my friend.
love-bd
Ditto to what everyone else has already said! Good work!
Lovely and creative approach to the prompt. I'm really enjoying your free verse.
An interesting journey, well done.
Another amazing poem. I am off to raid my fridge and fulfill an apple's destiny.
A "voyage from earth to fruition" indeed. I like the way you described the struggle - it wasn't easy, that voyage.
when we gotta grow we gotta grow :)
enjoyed as always
thank you
From a little seed to a tree of stature ... an arduous journey indeed
I miss you already. :(
I enjoyed reading of the little seed's journey, growing up into a 'tree of stature.' If only we all knew 'what was expected'of us, as well as that little seed did. Great take on the prompt!
oh i love this one... so much potential and determination in a tiny seed
Love that. The little seed that could. Nice.
This was great! The entire cycle of life from the perspective of a seed... wonderful! ;)
I'm not a poet though I so wish I could be. Yours are always beautiful.
