[Chris Shaw]

Dear Mr E, I so like your dahlink greeting. Was pleased you found a little Irish here. You know I have visited and worked there both north and south on many occasions and find Irish folk, so warm and full of the old craick. I love it there, especially Dublin. Thank you so much for your visit and I'll say to you, an corr den latha dhut :))

[Einstein Noodle]

[Chris Shaw]

I used to press flowers. I have some memorable ones with special meaning in my bible. No clover though :)

[Einstein Noodle]

Raspberries are as beautiful to look at as they're delicious to eat. This lovely poem fills the mind with all kinds of yummy possibilities! I appreciate that they're at their succulent best when fresh from a farm!

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you lovely DIVYA for calling on my page and leaving such a thoughtful response. Keep safe my dear friend.

Yummy
just had some homegrown with ice cream last night
ain't life wonderful

[Chris Shaw]

Homegrown or from the farm makes such a difference don't you think? Flavour is lost in shop bought. Pleased you gave yourself a little treat. Happy Sunday Dave.

Raspberries with yoghurt and honey....beautiful.
Good morning Christine, hope you are well. Very happy that you have been able to visit your mum :)

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Gee. Yes, I was able to visit my mum, so pleased to be able to do that. Raspberries, with honey and yoghurt sounds wonderful. Hope you have a beautiful day.

A yummy breakfast treat! The visual effect is great here! Loved it!

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Pestonjee. I've just had a late breakfast today. You know shop bought raspberries, just don't hit the spot. Nothing like fresh from the farm. Have a great day my friend.

Chris

[AJNJ]

You're welcome dear friend. You too, enjoy your Sunday!

[Lorry]

Why did I hear the title in an Irish accent Chris? I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere, but seeing as my descendants are from the emerald isle, it seems a bit pointless. Plus, I don't want hashtagged again 😀
Now I'm hankering for a very berry fruit salad with cream, but seeing as it's 2am here, I'd have to go out and find some wild berries, and they are a nightmare to catch 😀

[Chris Shaw]

Hello Lorry, pleased to see you back. Hope you enjoyed the break, but think it might have been busy bee time for you. I've just had a late breakfast, topped up with berries. Yummy. Happy Sunday and thank you for checking in.

Chris

[Lorry]

Was busy Chris, but finally back home to my own bed and tell her the hotel bed meant nothing to me 😀

[Chris Shaw]

Nothing like your own bed:))

[Papaya]

Takes me back to childhood. Picking wild raspberries in the forest.

[Chris Shaw]

That sounds like a very lovely memory Ana. Thank you.

I can say my top of the morning is to wake and to be alive. Every morning i check our garden and guess what. Today at raspberries bushes were 10 ripen raspberries . We plant them just this spring so it's quite miracle .

So I feel somehow my morning and your poem resonating with each other. I think that's best poetry what can ever happen.

I like how you said they came from the farm fields . Cause mostly people said they came from shop. Yes taste is divine and sublime . You can feel how your body became more fresh. Delight indeed that's this poem. Have nice day on other side of great ocean.

[Chris Shaw]

Hello Martin, so pleased this little write is relatable. Nothing like fresh raspberries and you have grown your own. I hope they taste wonderful. Shop bought are never as succulent. Happy Sunday. to you, across the pond.

Me like raspberries--especially, freshly-picked.
Also like your lovely portrayal of an overwhelmingly pleasant insight.
Tasty read, poetess.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Jimmy. Have a very happy Sunday.
