Linda at dVerse has invited us to write a quadrille (44 words) on the subject of brambles. dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Brambles
“The tastiest berries are often hidden. Do not despair if you haven’t found true love. Look under the leaves and branches of convention.” Khang Kijarro Nguyen
Juice By sun's zenith we plunged on filling our baskets brim, our shirts stained and torn, your cheek bleeding, eyes smiling and lips fulsome; by moon's zenith we plunge into the juice of life with sugar tongued, softly encrusted, moist slices of your blackberry pie. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
