The blackberry bush had one new bloom Its light fragrance was so delicate and sweet I closed my eyes to breathe in deep its beauty And felt as if I were floating on a leaf Traveling down a quiet meandering mountain stream Touching down on a sandy beach The soft sand of the creek beach Was outlined by brambles in full bloom I thought of the blackberries to come, how sweet! And gave a moment to consider the beauty Of one thorny leaf Plucked it and tossed it into the stream I considering taking a dip in the stream And I took my shoes off on the beach I could see on the shore an algae bloom And wondered if that would taste sweet Before the plunge I looked at the crystal clear beauty And cast myself in the water as I had the leaf When I broke the surface on my face was a leaf Floating unaware down the little stream Seeking only a place to land, like a nice beach To be amongst the other blooms And create a berry so sweet That, would be the truest beauty…. I was caught up by the beauty Of a twisting maple leaf Falling down, down to the babbling stream Bypassing the sandy beach And casting no glances to the opening bloom Giving no thought to their future sweet I swam to the shore thinking about berries so sweet Sunlight dancing on the water created such beauty That I stepped on a sticker leaf And fell backwards into the stream Filling my shorts with sand from the beach And giving my *** cheek a nice rosy bloom I sat on the beach right next to a mountain stream Watched a leaf float by in all its beauty From a sweet blackberry bush in full bloom

swimming by the blackberry patch (sestina)
The blackberry bush had one new bloom Its light fragrance was so delicate and sweet I closed my eyes to breathe in deep its beauty And felt as if I were floating on a leaf Traveling down a quiet meandering mountain stream Touching down on a sandy beach The soft sand of the creek beach Was outlined by brambles in full bloom I thought of the blackberries to come, how sweet! And gave a moment to consider the beauty Of one thorny leaf Plucked it and tossed it into the stream I considering taking a dip in the stream And I took my shoes off on the beach I could see on the shore an algae bloom And wondered if that would taste sweet Before the plunge I looked at the crystal clear beauty And cast myself in the water as I had the leaf When I broke the surface on my face was a leaf Floating unaware down the little stream Seeking only a place to land, like a nice beach To be amongst the other blooms And create a berry so sweet That, would be the truest beauty….
