Mt. Dickerman

09.02.06
Berry picking!

The Solomon seal sported fruit;
candy coated clusters.
Sweeter still, blueberries
that are riddled red
when they are green.

Rippened to perfection,
we hardly needed a pinch
to pull them from already blushing leaves
of many an aromatic patch.

Our harvest labor lingers
in stained lips and finger tips,
half a gallon zip-loc bag.
