Anticipation of
red turning shiny
black taunts
my taste buds
until
suddenly
they are ready.
Fingers stained
burgundy blood-red,
scratched and stinging,
pluck and
pick,
discard
and taste
until
a brimming bowl of
nature's bounty
sits in splendour
on my
compost heap
red turning shiny
black taunts
my taste buds
until
suddenly
they are ready.
Fingers stained
burgundy blood-red,
scratched and stinging,
pluck and

discard
and taste
until

especially this year. I've hardly found any that were worth picking! There'd be a nice balance of the until, visually if you dropped 'suddenly' but it's picky if you'll forgive the terrible pun...
