Apple Harvest

Although I expected apple harvest to last
Weeks, if not months,
We managed our harvest in a few hours
This afternoon.
Many trees had none; most had five or less.

But there was a section of patented
Goldrush, eight trees that produced
Twice as much again as the other 300 trees
Combined.

As we harvested those eight, filling
A couple crates and buckets,
We realized how very intense the harvest
Would be, were all the trees as productive.
