Sweet and succulent upon the trailing vine, On an impulse I picked luscious blackberries, In the gold of summer, under the ivory clouds, Blue petals were falling, autumn approaching, And my lips were stained like twilight night, In high summer hours, awaiting apricot flowers! In the lazy days, somewhat opposed to change, Fragrances drifted, both familiar and strange. I went for a short walk, but ended miles away, Listening to so many things nature had to say. Visions of jam as red robin sang on his swing, Purple flowers hula danced on a path of bliss!

Nature has a lot to say to you and I enjoy the conversation. Alas in Malta no one imports blackberries, only blueberries. A lovely nature poem. ~~

Thank you very much. I'm pleased that you decided to listen to my conversation with nature. In a place as beautiful as Malta, I am sure there are many compensations for the lack of blackberries. Have a great day. :=)

This reminds me of a vacation in the summer of 1974 in the state of Washington. The Pacific Northwest has a plethora of both blackberries and raspberries growing wild. Enjoyed reading this!
