Black Skinned Beauties

Always later than I'd like, richness in their cells when ripe
Backberry with Apple pie delight, once to taste is not my style
I've also found them there, at times and whiles, and tasted also before 
I'm home.' and now I've opened up the tome, the one on puddings; basin filled.'
Mullberry and plum, raspberry and kiwi, gooseberry and Logan 
Make pages of colour, that one could dote on' But I'll admit and without 
Duress, blackberries in August are the very best, their deep rich taste
Is always smooth, enhancing many mealtimes; theyre comfort imbued.'
The pot is on; the apples peeled, blackberries tender swiftly yeild
Aroma rich, perfumes the air; there are paintings of them on my spiral stair
All in all, I must profess they are a real forte; in culinary prowess.'

Did this one not win? I sure had liked it, Joe. I knew mine would not win in the contest since it was not very complimentary to the blackberry

Your blackberry delight makes the mouth drool and fills the air with a tangy aroma ! Indeed black berries when fully ripe and glossy black gives a kick to the palate. Beautifully written Joe...

You take me back Joe, to my mother's jam making efforts, after us kids spent hours in the fields and bushes picking..Love where you take us in your poetry, a true recipe of fineness.

Where do those realities go Harry? One moment they are Almost close enough to re-enter, then the current time Imposes itself; yet we know it also is to become part of the Mist behind us..' I have wondered in the past if our life stages Are as a fool of celluloid film, all frames still there, until we Pass from this sundering earth.? Just a thought..God bless.'
