APRICOT

APRICOT

Thick as soup; viscous as gravy
APRICOT.

Hard bites break bonds
of superficial corps.

Soft fuzz tormenting expressions
osculations.

Languishment becomes yearning
APRICOT.

About zongrik

For those of you who do not know the handle "zongrik," that would be Bat-Ami Gordin. Most people call me "Tammy." Bat-Ami means "daughter of my nation" in Hebrew. It's a heavy name to carry around. I answer to either name. I also answer to "mama." Some Basic Things about me: Animal lover, mom, poet/writer, dramatic soprano, photographer, teacher/tutor, CERT/Technician and, oh yeah, aerospace engineer. I consider myself "The Astro-Poet." To learn more about the origins of the word "zongrik" see whats-a-zongrik?

    really nice. Some might think it’s minor, but I totally dig the way that Apricot changes size as it moves from title to ending. Really great response to the MTB prompt. Thanks

    Enjoyed this! You have really captured the essence of the fruit (one I love but seldom have an opportunity to eat)!

    If I were promoting this fruit I’d use your poem!

    I see you prefer the apricot seed
    To whatever you get from weed.

    As a child, I’d visit my aunt & uncle who owned an orchard in the Okanagan Valley of BC – we’re have apricot juice running down our faces! Deelishus!

    Ummm, Yummm, one of my favorite fruits. I just can’t wait for summer and sinking my teeth into a golden ball of juiciness.

    Love apricots! like the wordplay of the homonymic “superficial corps.” And the picture made my mouth water, I’m not kidding. Nice to see you, Tammy. Peace, Amy

    Love your description of an apricot. I love apricots, but your description makes them
    seem even more luscious ! You captured the apricot as I wish I could have…☺ They
    are more mysterious now !
