Blueberry Harvest
Spectacular this year
Every bush heavy laden with
blueberries
Every hue of blue, light
blue, sky blue, navy,
Blue-black, midnight blue,
If you’re blue, try eating
these berries,
Luscious, puffed-up by early
summer rains,
Sweet (and tart!) and so
delicious that I salivate
At the very sight!
I pick them—or rather, they
practically fall off the bush, unbidden,
Into my jar. The big ones
don’t make it, though—
I pop them into my mouth as
quick as a blue heron
Spears a blue gill.
These berries are going to marry
my breakfast cereal,
Drop into pancake batter,
Mix with yogurt,
Avalanche over shortcake,
And stain my blue blue
tongue!
