slices, roll thin using
a rollin-pin

1/2 gallon of vanilla bean ice-cream
2 scopes in a bowl
2 cookies on each side
top with berry jam mixture
add a couple blackberries
and whipped cream to top
sprinkle some roasted
sunflower seed and serve.
Sunshine summer raining down
On naked breath, hope
Racing to meet the echoes
Promises awakened on the caress
Of light, stirring, silencing
Every dark thought – as my fingers work
Struggling to grasp every plump
Blackberry without grazing the thorns
From the briars where such blessed
Goodness survives the showers
Who pound away at the earth, erasing
Every doubt that this luscious
Flavor, blackberry heaven, could ever
Be surpassed by any other suggestion
Extract of sweetness, delectableness
The taste of blackberry ecstasy
Awaiting my drooling tongue, it’s destiny!

Uncle Clyde ain't impressed by all this facebook, twittering, tweeting and such!
He would just as soon use two old soup cans and a string to keep in touch!
To him a 'text' message is a sermon from the pulpit by the preacher guy!
Needless to say, all this new-fangled technology has passed him by!
His kids gave him a Kindle to read by but he consigned it to a shelf.
"Fiddle faddle!" said he, "If I want to read a book I'll choose one myself!"
The kids gave him a brand new Dell computer and it's still in the crate.
He'll continue to use his trusty Selectric 11 - he ain't about to update!
He is happy with his Brownie box camera that he's used for fifty years.
Since most everyone now use digitals, he gets sniffish looks from his peers!
He has no use for cellular phones or folks who use that kind of stuff!
Clyde considers such bizarre contrivances just so much useless fluff!
He doesn't need a laptop - he has one upon which his dear old cat can snooze,
And he won't subscribe to cable TV and pay those outrageous monthly dues!
Clyde'll tell you what to do with your blackberries, ipods and all such like!
'Tis best his quote be unsaid, but delicately put, he'd say, "Take a hike!"

I woke when dawn peeked through my window.
Started pacing the floor back and forth, to and fro,
waiting for daylight to get to the blackberry patch,
intending to pick the ripe ones as my first batch.
Yesterday, I saw bunnies nibbling on the berries.
It was sunset, and their feeding time never varies,
so, I'd get to pick some very early this morning
and let them know I was around, as a warning.
I tried to be patient, waiting for the dew to dry.
That's what the almanac said, so it wasn't a lie.
Picking them wet makes them mold and squish.
That sure doesn't make them sound very delish!
I got dressed and watched as the sun rose higher
before taking my bucket to the blackberry briar.
I was eager to start before the sun got too hot,
and kept a look out for rabbits, but none did I spot.
First berry I had to taste to see if it was sweet,
knowing the darkest ones would be best to eat.
I got half a pail full before mom called, "Breakfast,"
but after school I'd be back to gather all the rest.
I could almost taste how delicious they would be,
baked in a juicy cobbler or a blackberry pie for me.
Then, I'd leave the rest for the rabbits to munch
so, for a few days they'd all have enough for lunch.

5 large egg whites
250g caster sugar
380ml double cream
5 tbsp lemon curd
300g blackberries
2 tbsp pistachios, toasted & roughly chopped
InstructionsPreheat the oven to 180 C/160 C fan. Line two large baking trays with baking parchment.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Adding the sugar 1 tbsp at a time, continuing to whisk until you have a stiff, glossy meringue.
Divide into three, placing two big dollops nto one baking sheet and one on the other. Spread out until you have three circles approx 20cm in diameter.
Place the trays in the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 140 C/120 C fan. Bake for one hour then turn off the oven and leave the meringues inside to cool completely.
When ready to serve, whip the cream until soft peaks form and fold in the lemon curd. Remove the meringues from the baking parchment and layer with whipped cream, blackberries and a sprinkle of pistachios. Serve in thick slices.
This meringue cake is best eaten on the day of making, but leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two.Fagotto Amaretto chocalae and piscatoes
Fruit Fairies
Green luscious trees sway gracefully in breeze
humming song sung by work pollen bees
baby fruits cradled not yet ripen to fall
many are ready but some still too small
Laden with fruit rich, juicy and ripe
natures jewels sparkling delights
oranges, plums, pears, apples galore
once tasted you will always want more
Raspberries, strawberries and currants of blue
beautiful colours all natural and true
blackberries, apricots, gooseberries green
melons and mangoes even tangerines
Lemons so bright bed lights to be seen
fruit fairies dancing among all the green
they are the guardians who nurture them all
working and caring protectors when called
Unicorn sprinkles star dust they apply
diamonds drop dews, rain from the sky
foods for the fruits all natural and clean
no chemicals be used, always grown green
As dusk draws in, their wings tired and slow
fireflies wake lights delicately glows
lay rest their heads on white cotton to sleep
eyes tiredly shut no fairy does peep
Fruit salad, fruit medley bring such harmony
all healthy when eaten moderately
so children when mum and dad say this be true
fruit fairies grew these especially for you
If you hear little laughter or feel tickle of air
know that a fairy is very near
happy, smiling, flying with glee
healthy our children - earth future trustees

The morning Sara steals for Honduras
from Houston with the benefit of English,
a brown thrasher, more oatmeal than boulder,
darts through the briar like a startled fish,
snouting about the thick thorny thicket
for beakable blackberries knowing there’s none.
A small rain. The slow sound of a spigot
that spritzes palms open to cleansing runs
down the broken-white-brick where the littlest
of my two little sisters takes her life
far from the bonnets rolling blue through Texas.
If three years pass, she might return as a wife,
mother, source of pride - but certainly this:
the same stupid sister no brother could miss.
wild strawberries permeate the meadow hill
Lilies and daffodils have retired as lilacs appear
Crepe myrtles are looking at their bloom calendar
country smells are in the air, feeling wholesome here
daisies intertwine the barbed wire fences
the blackberries are starting to form in a bright tiny green
we can till the land now, but planting must wait a few weeks
we never know when we might get frost
I dance my delight at getting to live in this heaven-scent place
wide open spaces with oak, willow, walnut and elm trees to hug
some grow renegade, others were planted by me
the peach never grew but the optimism felt here made me try
Joy surrounds my soul as I sip my coffee
It is okay to scarf down biscuits and gravy
The rooster is crowing and the hens are excited.
Time to feed the livestock. Life in the country!

It's Blackberries
It's in the thoughts.
It's in the classroom.
It's during recess.
It's in the cafeteria.
It's in the library.
It's waiting for the school bell to ring.
It's the school bus ride home.
It's the tossed school bag on the porch.
It's in Pup-Tart, frolicking ahead.
It's the trail behind the house.
It's in the search.
It's in the anticipation.
It was in the lost.
It's in the found.
It's in the bending down to pluck.
It's in the endless lapping of my face by Pup-Tart!
It's in the holding in my palm.
It's in the look of my gaze.
It's in the tossing into my mouth.
It's in the chewing-bursting sensation.
It's down the throat into the satisfaction of a 50-year-old remembering -- blackberries!!

Your Thoughts On Blackberries
~~Matt Caliri: Judged 2022 September 08
Orange feathers in the warm air,
Blackberries seem to be floating in a lair.
The dry season in June is bountiful,
A video that lives in the days of plentiful.
Birds land with absolute elegance,
Designed ice cream and blackberry grace.
Feed the frenzy; all hunger is quenched,
Life-sustaining food in berries drenched.
Scarcity and deprivation soon follow,
My ears perceive the winter ominous hollow.
Every day they must contend with the weather,
In every form, I'm aiming for food and heather.
There are almost endless varieties of berries,
from speckled blueberries to gnarled blackberries.
The flavor matches the bursting thrill of a single cherry,
But to fully grasp it, she has to relish it fully.
I am longing for the end of the year,
Until a rich, fresh life brings berries here.
