Blackberry Picking by Ronald James de Langen


A wonderfull day is unfolding.
A child has gone blackberry picking.
Along a thorn freckled hillside,
these bursting fruits do reside.
Nary a cloud in the sky.
Only sunshine by and by.
Nature’s gladdest moment does shine,
All along that slope of mine.
A happy jaunt in his step,
For blackberry thoughts do pep.
Later on after a culling’s done,
its off to home with berries won. 
JPR: Is there not a poem for everything?

  1. brings back memories; must've gone 2 or 3 times. I remember one when we had a couple bucketfulls. And yea it always seemed like the skies were clear, the sun high, and not a care in the world.
