A wonderfull day is unfolding. <br />A child has gone blackberry picking. <br />Along a thorn freckled hillside, <br />these bursting fruits do reside. <br />Nary a cloud in the sky. <br />Only sunshine by and by. <br />Nature’s gladdest moment does shine, <br />All along that slope of mine. <br />A happy jaunt in his step, <br />For blackberry thoughts do pep. <br />Later on after a culling’s done, <br />its off to home with berries won.<br /><br />Ronald James de Langen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blackberry-picking/
