Magic apples!

I did not know a wood could be enchanted
\nNor that a fairy owns each apple tree
\nYou cast a spell when first the tree was planted
\nI touched the fruit and now the spell’s on me<\/p>\n
A quiet walk just after Sunday lunchtime
\nI wondered why one tree was bathed in light
\nI reached one hand and suddenly the crunch time
\nA tiny prison cell and I’m locked tight<\/p>\n
I hear the notes of happy fairy laughter
\nAnd I see a perfect fairy form
\nMy heart and soul were lost for ever after
\nYou hit me like a summer thunderstorm<\/p>\n
One moment I was trapped inside the core
\nAnd then I was in love for ever more<\/p>\n
It’s true each apple tree must be enchanted
\n A fairy ties her life to every tree
\n She guards it from the time the pip is planted
\n And for this apple tree the guard is me<\/p>\n
I saw you in my wood each weekend lunchtime
\n And drew you closer in with fairy light
\n I picked the perfect day and it was crunch time
\n The spell was cast and you were locked in tight<\/p>\n
You heard the music of my fairy laughter
\n I looked inside to see your manly form
\n You’ll be my only love for ever after
\n You rage inside me like a thunderstorm<\/p>\n
You touched my fruit and fell into its core
\n Then I locked up your heart for ever more<\/p>\n

Something a little different for you today<\/p>\n
A dyad of Shakespearian sonnets, that is a pair of sonnets using all the same
\nrhymes
\nSo each poem rhymes AbAb CdCd EfEf gg
\nAnd because it sounds nice I made the A C E rhymes feminine, that is they
\nstress the syllable before the last and rhyme the final two syllables not just
\none.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
