Poem: "Winter Apples"

This poem came out of the September 13, 2011 perk round. It was inspired by prompts from janetmiles, jenny_evergreen, aldersprig, and laffingkat. It was posted in part by minor_architect as the linkbacks poem for the November 1, 2011 Poetry Fishbowl. Since there are verses left over, you can reveal a verse today by linking to a favorite poem from this fishbowl.

Poetry signal boosted in my LJ and on FetLife.

Thank you! ysabetwordsmith November 3 2011, 18:50:51 UTC

Two new verses have been posted.

Re: Thank you! janetmiles November 3 2011, 18:52:19 UTC

Hmm. Getting interestinger.

Re: Thank you! ysabetwordsmith November 3 2011, 18:59:43 UTC

*cackle* *rub hands together* Yes, it is!

This poem has a slow build as Fiorenza's quiet village life turns up clues to a mystery, and now the villain is onstage...

If I link to a new poem each day, will that be pushing too hard on the relationship/arrangement?
(Yes, I want to know what happens.)

Re: Thank you! ysabetwordsmith November 4 2011, 04:14:37 UTC

Sure, we can do that. There will be more stuff happening tomorrow, too -- I have a couple of polls to post, once I know what the final tally on donations is. Those will be open to everyone.

I'm pleased that at least one person is really hooked into "Winter Apples."

I think it sounds like Snow White but it might not be...

Re: Thank you! ysabetwordsmith November 4 2011, 04:31:42 UTC

It is! *clap hands* I'm glad that someone spotted that and mentioned it. This is basically a backstage view of a fairytale.

Re: Thank you! rix_scaedu November 4 2011, 04:40:10 UTC

And here is my link back. http://rix-scaedu.livejournal.com/33336.html

I suspect that Fiorenza might have something to say about poisoning good apples.

Re: Thank you! ysabetwordsmith November 4 2011, 05:13:11 UTC

I've added the new verse. Yes, Fiorenza disapproves of the mayhem attempting to occur.

Re: Thank you! rix_scaedu November 5 2011, 06:58:47 UTC

I've done another linkback http://rix-scaedu.livejournal.com/33563.html

Another verse, please?

Re: Thank you! ysabetwordsmith November 5 2011, 17:37:31 UTC

Posted, and now Fiorenza knows what the creepy lady wants. 0_o

Re: Thank you! rix_scaedu November 5 2011, 23:37:49 UTC

Does the vermin have a name?
She'll be wanting monkshood root next...

Re: Thank you! ysabetwordsmith November 6 2011, 04:30:04 UTC

>> Does the vermin have a name? <<

Yes, though it doesn't appear in the poem. I just figured this character was cold enough to come up with a cover story like "vermin."

>> She'll be wanting monkshood root next... <<

*chuckle* Oh, wait and see.

Re: Thank you! rix_scaedu November 6 2011, 04:34:54 UTC

I linked to the second poll. http://rix-scaedu.livejournal.com/34086.html

Re: Thank you! ysabetwordsmith November 6 2011, 05:44:28 UTC

The next verse is up.
