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!

Homegrown or from the farm makes such a difference don't you think? Flavour is lost in shop bought. .. read more

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

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.

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