Orchard

Like rotting fruit

I found her

Hanging from the tree

The note she left us

Simply read

‘This life is not for me’

in the orchard

strange fruit indeed. always holidays version for me, never simone (although she has her merits). i was going for an off colour nursery rhyme so clearly i succeeded in some way. also, it rhymes. its only two lines but still. thats good for me! thanks david, im glad you took so much from it!

very effective , and has an almost detached feel , quite disconcerting - perhaps like children's stories that are sometimes full of menace.

crikey Stu, straight to the point this one. I think that is why I like it. it also appeals to my melancholic side.
