Zelda's Inferno exercise: freewrite around the phrase "there's potency in pears"
the apple gets all the press
Adam and Eve and the apple
apple of my eye
Apple Records, Apple Computers, Apple Ford
apple for the teacher
Johnny Appleseed
but we who study the subtle and hidden know
there is potency in pears
the crows and squirrels come into my yard
to feast on the sickle pears
that fall from my tree like hail in late spring
the sweet white flesh of the fruit
the potency of the seeds within
each ready to create a whole new tree out of nothing but soil and water and light
