As Black As Black
A many faceted gem, the sun kissed blackberry sparkles amid prickly vine
With ebony facade denoting time to pluck it from its place
As black as coal excavated from the mine
And glistening reflections pervading its surface
This black jewel is taken from its casket
In tantalizing state that gives much pleasure
And carefully positioned in a basket
With a plethora of others to enhance a greater treasure
There they sit in brilliant array
as black as black harvested in their prime
Picked and shiny on this sunny day
Their beauty perfection at this time
The vine now bereft of all its berries
Is barren for now until next year
When black pervades again amongst the brambles
Destined to give the onlooker Summer cheer
