Hmmmmmm !!! Yummy

My hands are stained
With thorns I'm pained
Through the bushes stumble
Amidst the bees that bumble

The midday sun warms my back
As I wander secluded track
Nature lives before my eyes
In beating wings of butterflies

The ants are biting
Gorse and bramble fighting
I battle on my stomach churning
The sun is hot my neck is buring

Natures ways of making humble
With each pick my fingers fumble
And deep inside my belly rumble
All for the love of Backberry crumble

Can't help but smile when I think of you pushing through the bramble to get your fingers on the blackberries. Appetite is a great motivator, isn't it, Daniel? (I hate insects with a passion.) Love, Carolyn

Sounds like an interesting Blackberry picking trip that you have made into the wild just to enjoy some pie for awhile. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
