Blackberry Picking Poem by Ronald James de Langen

Blackberry Picking



A wonderfull day is unfolding.
A child has gone blackberry picking.
Along a thorn freckled hillside,
these bursting fruits do reside.
Nary a cloud in the sky.
Only sunshine by and by.
Nature's gladdest moment does shine,
All along that slope of mine.
A happy jaunt in his step,
For blackberry thoughts do pep.
Later on after a culling's done,
its off to home with berries won.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Blackberries grew wild along the train tracks beside my house growing up and every year the youngkids would pick the berries and help with making jam.

a pen of wise king love to be read A wonderfull day is unfolding. A child has gone blackberry picking. Along a thorn freckled hillside, these bursting fruits do reside. Nary a cloud in the sky. Only sunshine by and by.
