Oh jewel of a fruit
From shrub do you hang
Juicy wee drupelets
With a sweet little tang
The summer is perfect
With all that you need
Abundance of sun
Gladly nurtures your seed
Swarthy and meddling
Your roots slyly spread
Soon bushels are growing
All peppered with red
Though thorny your stems
In your high tunnel bramble
We shan’t be deterred
Through your arches we ramble
And we are rewarded
With the most tasty treat
My pail remains empty
For I can’t wait to eat
Pies, jams and compotes
A buckle or cake
With sugar and cream
Like my gram used to make
For this bauble of berry
My love can’t go deeper
Aught embodies summer
Like this fruit-laden creeper
