This is an ABC poem. I just wrote the alphabet out and wrote as fast as I could without thinking. There’s kind of a rhyme scheme. I think there may be several. I had to cheat with x and go on a tangent for Z.
It’s no masterpiece, sorry!
God knows why I’m thinking about bilberrying in May.
Are you going to come
Bilberrying with me?
Come! And I will show you
Down among the heather
Each shy little shrub
Frightened of the weather.
Green and shining leaves,
Hide beads of darkest wine
I wish you you’d come and taste the
Juice with me sometime.
Kitchens will fill with flavours
Like heather, sunlight, sky
Meaning we will soon savour
Nectar- bilberry pie!
Open up your mouth
Prepare to taste the wild,
Quite earthy sweetness, do!
Receive what is your due:
Sweet, dark ambrosia
This pie I made for you
Unbeatable the taste
Vineyards cannot compare
With this no time to waste
Xcitement waits out there!
Yes, come outside and feel
Zephyrs dancing in the air!
