A Somber Dawn

A somber dawn breaks upon a hillside 
     strewn with hedges of dew 
         drenched blackberries

Marikate Kingston Date: 2/1/2023 9:34:00 PM What a pretty image your poem creates. I have memories of picking berries when I was a child and years ago with my own kids, now young adults. When my daughter was young she called blueberries, "bluebabies" This certainly was deserving of a win. Now I want blackberries. :). Yum.

FJ Thomas Date: 1/8/2023 2:04:00 PM I have not many fond memories of my childhood, but finding those random wild blackberries is definitely one. A beautiful mental scene you have created.
