With childish excitement we walked up the hill Inhaling the freshness, experienced the thrill Of blueberry picking, first handful to taste, The rest in our baskets were zealously placed. That scene is now faded and all that remains Is wistful nostalgia that flows through the veins. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Bite Size Poem No14 Poetry Contest (6 lines) Sponsored by Line Gauthier Placed 2nd © 26th July 2021
