Notes About The Poem

Beautyberries

Beautyberries dazzle the eyes with
the appearance of deliciousness.
The purple wonders, that look like raspberries,
seem to coax, “Pick me! Pick me!”

Jelly jars appeal to the clusters of drupes.
However, one must beat the birds and wildlife
to the bush, before they strip it clean.
Yet, leave some for their sustenance.

In a small clear vase, a branch, of beautyberries,
patiently waits to produce a root. Meanwhile,
the centerpiece-enchant adorns my table.
This clipping’ released by a berry nice friend.

Don't embarrass my berries, just cherish my cherries, give me a fruit bowl punch for lunch! Fill my eyes with blackberry skies, I need something tart to munch! My tummy needs plump plum pies, Miss "Yummy Mummy" on the rise! What a tasty treat, though overly sweet, I'm wearing a plumper size!

LOL, Poet! Sounds like you enjoy berries! I remember picking blackberries, as a kid, mixing with sugar…yum!

Very informative. I learned something from your poem. I love how you added the words that spoke through the berries. Your poem is cleverly animated.

My first time was a couple days ago. They have medicinal properties and apparently are enjoyed by birds, wildlife and us humans too. They make a good jam. Hugs.
