You: an Achilles' apple
Blushing sweet on a high branch
At the tip of the tallest tree
You escaped those who plucked your fruit.
Not that they didn't try. No,
They could not forget you
Poised beyond their reach.

RomanceI don't usually see books with sapphic poems, even if I do, they're usually not from Sappho so I decided so make this book full of Sappho's amazing poems. Hope you like it!
Fragment 105(a)
You: an Achilles' apple
Blushing sweet on a high branch
At the tip of the tallest tree
You escaped those who plucked your fruit.
Not that they didn't try. No,
They could not forget you
Poised beyond their reach.
