I would find them by my driveway in childhood. Delicious and eye-popping poetry! Congrats, Andrea!

This has happened in my life . Once I lost my way as a child and happened to stray away into a woody side of our own large compound with bushes and creepers. Then came across some wild black berries. It was something of great excitement for me. Well done Andrea.

Hey, Sweetie, tis me. Today Kyle is 41. Yi. This is as fresh as my imagination says the berries found are sweet. I've missed you. SoupMail won't open to let me write you, I'll keep trying, the error may go away.

Andrea, Ahh!! Great find and I hope you enjoyed. I don't know what kind of berries are ripe but all of them are good. I have noticed that there are several of these poems about serendipity so there must be a contest, if so, this one reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara K

The poem is just for any kind of berries one might find growing for free. For me it would be raspberries.
