An Emblem of the Fall

An apple may be nibbled
away till all that is
left is the core: seeds
(and pithy bits - but not
much more) - the germ of
life hardened against
Winter's hammer
... unto perpetuity

I like the idea of "hammer" associated with winter.

The last few lines are awesome and I like the way you use apple seeds to unfold your theme.
Really enjoyed.

Thank you ! YesNo and angliholic. The beginning is less strong than the ending; I'll let it stand for now lest I over tinker with it.
