The Blueberry Bush Poem by Jennifer Colyne Hall

The Blueberry Bush

Rating: 5.0


Early in the mornin'

The sun in her hair

Tiny fingers

Plump blueberries

Shoved in her mouth

as quick as they were picked

Gran looked out

to find blueberries

smeared on her mouth

like paint

Now she sits with a nervous spin

her blonde hair gleaming

from the evening sun

From the window

A hug so tight

A tear fighting to fall

Gran can't speak.....

What happened to my tiny girl

with the top of her head

barely showing over

the blueberry bush

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Dedicated to: my step-daughter, Ashlyn, and her Grand-mother Dot

I wrote this on a visit, Ash hadn't seen Dot in quite some time, and this was only the 2nd time I had met her, I wrote as I listened to her tell the stories of her grand-daughter back in time
