Avoided, unsightly
Fearsome thorns that tear.
Stop and consider.
Listen to birdsong
Heralding security within.
An insectivorous city
Retreat for modest mammals.
Gallery of the spider’s webs,
Enhanced by crystal dew.
Pastel papery flowers.
Nectar gatherers buzz,
or flutter on elegant wings.
A thriving natural community.
Self sufficient relinquisher
of black pearled berries.
We will gratefully share.
Appreciate that blackberry thicket
For just being there.
