DogberryA Poem by Cole HayleyDogberry The sun, japan-red, salmon, Pinched by the scissortooth branch Held up like a connoisseur, an appraisal officer
Versus October sky - who wears the color better?
Blood red, cherry red, a tint of orange,
We used them as bullets, tiny and hard Flung them from slingshots in my backyard The dogberry is a multi-purposed weapon;
My grandfather made wine out of them Had the whole operation right in his kitchen Drank a glass every night in autumn, And although I thought it tasted bad It made him happy
So long live the dogberry Long live the dogberry. © 2017 Cole HayleyAuthor's Note
