the wonderful secrets of a blackberry.

a blackberry field has speckles of dark,

with the sweetness staying hidden.

leafy greens conceal berries,

but peeled away is the intense

color of the fruit.


to judge a fruit before its taste,

seeing the outside and concluding

that it is not worth trying,

reveals the face of a coward.

with no strength to dive deeper,

you might not get through the thorns.

The poem is meant to express a message of life and how damaging only seeing things at face-value can be.
