Berries big as thumbs
surprise me on a sunny day.
They've come too soon, haven't they?
I thought that they'd be later.
I'm pretty sure that blackberries
ripen in the autumn, not the summer.
But I pick them anyway,
delighted with the find
then buckle from a sideways swipe
that death as big as life
surprised me on a sunny day too.
Life is full of surprises Laura, and death is one of them . Between the two we're cornered it seems to me. This really packs a lovely punch and shows your scope for deep feeling! Nice stuff. Ray
Thanks both.
Colin - I had to look up Lladro. Reminds me of my Nan, that sort of stuff. Awwr, well I hope your Mum has a long time in front of her yet. Yes, the swipes. They've started making several appearances now. I have also put out some bird food ?
Thanks Paul x
I sense something very poignant here Laura, beautifully described.
