After taking time to read Robert Frost's poem "After Apple Picking" i am almost certain that he isn't really talking about apples. I think he's using the apples as a metaphor to represent his life and struggles. I get from this poem that he's tired of life , work and everything else. He sounds as if he's declaring that he has paid his dues to this life. He wants a break from life seems as if he's ready to die and walk right into heaven, but just like every body's life there's obstacles and hurdles in our lives that we must accomplish before we can get to that place of peace and tranquility. He express that he doesn't have control over his path into heaven because there's a barrel waiting to be filled with apples. this poem essentially is that reality of a lot of things in life yo can be so close to where it is you want to be whether physically or mentally but there's thing beyond your control in your way.
