Poetry Monday :: Plants with berries

Poetry Monday - what's that? It is a blogging game, that Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over the hosting duties, mostly the supplying of the prompts - only temporarily we hope - while Diane at On the Border is taking a break for health and relaxation, travelling the world with her husband as far as we can tell.  We just hope she's going to take back over once she returns home.

The prompts now come from 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts group. This is a Facebook group with a prompt for each day of the year, but no worries, the prompts will still be here and at Mimi's blog.

Today's prompt is: Plants with Berries

In my garden I grow plants with berries
but say, who eats the many berries?
I try to find them, maybe fairies?
I look in all the syllabaries
I search for them, but traces varies
In my garden I grow plants with berries
of many sorts, red, blue and cherries
But someone's eating all my berries.

I think of all my adversaries,
of anyone who ever tarries
in my garden - caterpillaries
hens and bugs and the primaries
in terms of suspects, Jack and Mary's
kids next door, the emissaries
of hordes of kids, contemporaries
who love to eat my many berries.

In my garden I grow plants with berries
and hidden now my vision tarries
on ribis, black-, blue-, and cranberries.
And I see sights, more necessaries
are not to find the adversaries.
The bugs and hens and Jack and Mary's
children too too are munching berries.

In my garden I grew plants with berries
alas to thwart my adversaries
thistles and thorns my lot now carries.
But oh I long for my sweet cherries
I go and search all town's libraries.
and brew a potion: Unseen berries
From now on grace my old granaries.


What a whole lot of limping nonsense. I hope you enjoyed reading it just half as much as I did writing it.
