FALLING CRABAPPLES A collection of Haiku by David Meyer Introduction A crabapple, as you know if you've ever encountered them during the curious years of youth, has a very sour and un-inviting taste when picked directly off the tree. With some effort and ingenuity, however, these little cherry-like fruits can be turned into a very appetizing jam. I have tried not to hand out any bitter fruit within these pages. Instead, I put a little effort into this collection, and I hope my labor yields for the reader an appetizing read.
