Purple

Wild grapes plump and juicy we plucked along the lane - my sisters and I, carrying large pails Dusk’s sky turned violet. From far away we heard our grandmother calling us to supper The night bled a wine hue as swinging our pails, we ran with glee on that sweet day of purple April 17, 2023 for Sotto Poet's Traditional Cinquain Contest

I have not been grape picking, but I've been berry picking and that was fun. Now reading your poem makes me wish I had grapes here at my house.
