Ciao mystery poet..you have two votes now.

Your poem was a delight to read. ..

.. the Apple preferred to be picked and eaten by a person but ultimately it still did serve to feed a bird ..

I like how you described the different stages of the apple through the eyes of the Apple itself .. creative writing indeed!

You deserve a place on the podium ..

The poetry is splendid, a real eye catcher. The white bold is kind of unnecessary, a more decorative font would serve the poem better.
The picture is exemplary, love the apple, thanks for entering my subject.

You set the scene in the orchard well here, and your tale of the apple maturing right through to its final rotting is a graphic depiction of its life cycle, by way of incorporating so many colours.

In the following line, could you explain to me what the difference is between 'blacking' and 'blackening'? (also, you need to change the I'm to I)

Blacking, blackening, I'm was left hanging, just my core

    No difference between blacking and blackening wanted to make syllable count in each line in this section 13. Thanks for catch on I'm.
    Always appreciate your help.

I love when human characteristics are attributed to inantimate objects like you did here in your poem. Good luck in the contest. Stay safe and stay healthy in the new year.

Your mixed verse seems to be a metaphor for a life of one left behind, passed over but with the promise that the life cycle will continue - wonderful idea!! ;) :) Although by choice you have no set rhythm, it is difficult to find an easy flow to follow your lines especially with the large variation in line length and the large number of them that end in the word 'me'.... Thank you for sharing and best of luck! ;)

    Tried to keep the same syllable count 13 in the first, nine in the last, guess it did not work for rhythm. Thanks for the feedback I will work.
