A beautiful poem, Brooke, and a presentation that has made me hungry for berries of some kind--any kind! I especially like your last four lines.

Comment from Mastery
"The brook that burbles by,
the warmth sent from the sun
have plumped these berries well,
that I might eat this one."
Great word "burbles"
Another gem, Brooke. Bob

Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Brooke
This is truly a beautiful poem. I get the meter, and nicely done!
Love the picture you chose to compliment your poem. I love picking blackberries in late August/early September.
I like how you write,
"and then I thank the Lord,
Who made Creation mine."... because that is exactly what God did:
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." Genesis 1:26
You have some nice alliteration,
"As berries burst with juice"... with "b" and "s/c"
"all season they've been saving"... with "s"
"...its stem
to satisfy..." .....with "s"
"The brook that burbles by"... with "b"
"sent from the sun"... with "s"
"nature's fine designing"... with "n"
I like the rhymes of "saving/craving" and "dining/designing" with that extra soft syllable for lines 2 & 4 of each verse.
My favourite line,
"As berries burst with juice".
What a pleasure to read this piece. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent.

Comment from fastdigits
Your writings are always fascinating to me
in the tales you tell in meter that beats to
music that never misses a note, that plays
like a symphony of words which you the
conductor compose with such beauty
and charm as each word sings out in
wisdom, carried down the screen as
graceful as a ballerina as she dances
her dance of grace.
Well done

Comment from BLACKDYKE
Six, six, six. That comes to 18 I think.
I am reduced to a wreck at your fantastic
Poetry. I am feeling sick now, and jealous
Too. After all, I'm only human. How very
wonderful this poetry is, and what a marvelous
Picture you have chosen to accompany. Eric

Comment from Nanette Mary
Hullo Brooke ...
Under such a beautiful and colourful picture, your words describe so well the berries that provide us with
delicious fruit to eat .... and I like the way you have
credited the sun and all that helped their growth but, above all the One Who created everything.
This is an interesting format and one that I have not seen before. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Love from ... Nanette Mary.

You have woven a delightful poem and ended it with thanks to our Lord who has created all beauty that our eyes see each day and for which we all give thanks to God. Great faultless poem.

Comment from Louise Michelle
Although I think this piece was inspired by your love for God (considering you had just returned from church), I think the reader can receive all kinds of messages and commentaries about the food we eat. Nutritionists especially! Hugs, Lou

Comment from jadapenn
Hi Brooke, a lovely poem about the fruits of nature. Actually, once upon a time these berries grew in abundance for all. Now we hardly see them in the wild - not in this country anyway. It's unsafe to go exploring.
Well written. luv jada

Thank you Brooke,
for making my mouth water for the juicy taste of one of those berries in your picture.
Your poem has such wonderful smooth meter.
