These would definitely not work well in a pie:) I saw these on a Facebook post. It's amazing how they form. It was a good idea to write about them in a poem.

Hi Rhonda!
Yes, this story apparently went viral. Glad I saw it and thought to do a Haiku for the same.

Comment from Debra White
Hello :)
I like this very much.
What a strange thing... I read about this the other day, how the apples rot within the ice and then slide through the ice shell, leaving the shape of the apple (in ice) still on the tree.
Fabulous imagery in your haiku. I really enjoyed it.
Best wishes, Debra :)

This haiku, Ghosts Magically, set up as a 5-7-5, and along with this curious photo capture, finds that the icy apple formation well fits the spectral remains of the tasty and delicious fruit.

Nicely written story in a few words in the form of a Haiku. The picture is wonderful and I am sure inspired your words. This poem made me cold all over. Thanks for sharing.
Have a great evening.

Hi Brigitte!
Unlike your cold feelings, your words actually warmed me. LOL. THANKS for your nice review. In truth, I first heard the story on the radio, then wrote the Haiku, and finally chose the illustration from an internet search.

Melissa,
Methinks this is an apple you will not try, unless you have a DDS appointment already set(-;

Hi Christine!
THANK YOU for your encouraging and generous remarks and rating. All are appreciated. 17 syllables of verse is my planned daily quota, but sometimes I double up on my Haiku or 5-7-5 FS posts. Keep a look out for others. My subjects/topics vary. I often provide a note to give an insight to my text. For this one, I provided readers/reviewers a link to the background for this 'ghost apple' verse.
The artwork was selected from the Internet posted stories.

THANKS again for your continuing endorsement of my efforts. The 'ghost apple' article was most interesting. I was happy to mirror it a little in a few words.
