‘One more bite’
‘Prune the rot’
In life’s great grove where branches sway,
A rotten apple grins and stays,
It whispers sweet, but leaks its blight,
Turns golden dreams to mushy night.
“Oh stay!” it pleads with syrupy rot,
“Without me here, you’d be forgot!”
But sniff the stench beneath the gloss,
That’s yesterday’s regret, my loss,
So grab the shears with merry spite,
Snip! Snip! The toxic takes its flight.
No guilt, no fuss, no backward glance,
Just crisp air singing, “Take your chance!”
Watch the healthy apples blush and swell,
Juicy futures none can quell.
Your orchard laughs in sunlit green,
Where only ripeness reigns supreme.
Toss the wormy, hoard the bold,
Bloom fierce, my friend, in stories told.
For every cut that clears the way,
Unleashes orchards of brighter days!
Go prune with glee, you glorious soul,
Success is ripe when rot’s on dole.
Life is an orchard: snip away the rotten, toxic “apples” (people, habits, or things that drain you) with cheerful resolve. Remove the rot, and your healthy dreams will bloom, thrive, and lead to juicy success. Prune with glee! This is sharp, concise, and packs a punch, evoking both the literal act of cutting away spoiled apples and the deeper metaphor of removing toxicity from your life for collective growth. It feels artistic yet urgent, like a call to decisive action.
It’s Blade & Bloom, a poetic contrast between the cut and the resulting growth.
