Ripened by the sunshine
Red and very juicy
Ready for me to eat
Rich in vitamin c
Really nice as snacks
Rinse before you eat them -
Risk of small wriggly worms!...

Wild sweet raspberries
The itch of poison ivy
Lightning bugs at dusk





Chlorine streaks my hair
Nose burns and peels, burns some more
Hated the swim team...

Rich in vitamin C,
Red and juicy is this
Rubus plant genus that
Requires sun and rain in
Regions moist and clement.
Russia leads in their growth.
Roses they are kin to!...

heavy summer rain
upon the new planted garden
drinking refreshments

rose petals
scarlet red
her ruby lips


summer birds and bees
gather at the raspberries
a feast paradise...

I smelled the fruit as I closed in on my prey
My arms would be all scratched up by end of day
But raspberries are awesome – fruity and pure.
Thorns tore me up, but it was worth it for sure....

Blueberries discourage diabetes and heart disease
red raspberries can protect you from cancer
blackberries help prevent gum disease
But I eat them because they are baked into a delicious pie....

Half a pint of raspberries
Vanilla pudding
Cup of moo-moo's milk, liqueur -
Drunken brown sugar
Melts in bubbles - Freeze
Invite friends
Serve !

Orange blossoms forth.
Animated heat and light.
A candle's flicker.

Morning skies awake.
Misty air has gone away.
Blue's expanse open.

Surprise raspberries.
Summer sun overgrown wild.
Green turned sweet Red....

silently, I walk a sun blown field
my childhood lips red with raspberries
that grow wild behind our home
my fingers stained with the sweet juice
I hear my own childhood laughter floating 
echoing in my dream . . .  until it fades...

Water lily lake
in hot pink epoch of sun
Coral lilies bob
Fuchsia flight, dusk melodies
Salmon rose sends scents

Moonlight lake gleams, as
skies darken to amaranth
Pink daisy twilight
Gathering sweet raspberries
at red-violet day's end...

along the lane
my friends and I
pick raspberries. . . 
as robins chatter

we head back home -
with red pails filled . . .
sun - now crimson
saturates the sky

her eyes is as rich as olives
her curves as delicate as a pear
her hair as the trickling waterfall
her skin as tan
her scent is olives, pomegranate, peaches, strawberries, and raspberries
her love drowns me in fire
if i can only be with her
only just for a minute
my life is complete...

amber blooms on hills
and fluffy sheep in green grass
puffy clouds above

cobalt skies, blue lake
every day is tinged golden
red butterflies flit

raspberries are ripe
in the hour cardinal sings
from his pine tree perch

diamond sun reveals
mystery jewels of light
flashing hide and seek...

This is a town so nice.
They had to name it twice.
Up here in the Pacific Northwest,
it is a place better than most of the rest.
Nearby grow apples and cherries.
There are also good blackberries and raspberries.
Living in this small city is fun.
It is known as WALLA WALLA, WASHINGTON.

Nonsense soup
Slurped up easily
or gulped down
your choice actually

Swirl it
Whirl it
Swallow it with gusto

Silliness salad
Best side dish with it
Whimsical and delectable
Spinning tales


But what of dessert?
Fool’s gold fudge 
Or
Ridiculous raspberries
on top of Ignorant Ice cream?

Your choice really...

Burnt raspberries.
There I've said it.
The words collided
In my mind until
A perfect jam appeared.
That's what you get,
She said,
For being so unrestrained.
Yet I never thought it so.
At the time it was
Just another merger,
Another pairing,
Like two who mate
And swirl in a dance.
The dance of life
Is all it takes
To make jam....

Laughter, splashing
Lake sparkling in the bright light
Hosing off sandy feet
Beach towels drying on the line
Smelling of sunshine 
Dragonflies lazily hovering in the garden
Flip flops slapping against my heels
Ice cream dribbling down my chin
Lush raspberries ready for picking
Air perfumed with the scent of wild roses
My summer 
My joy...
