I've discovered how much fun a still life can be. I love this crop where you have a sense of what the scene is, but the focus is just that one red apple in front.
I took some heat for that from a few people in my critique group, but I stand by the decision. You don't have to show everything.
Sometimes a poem is just as powerful as a novel.
