I love this especially cause I popped blackberries straight from the vine in my mouth today. I would love to hear more about why you chose the image of wild blackberries.

I’m not sure exactly where the imagery came from but I just love the flavor of blackberries and how complex and lovely they can be. I heard somewhere after I wrote this that blackberries are one of the most common fruits in poems! So there’s something going on with blackberries at metaphors... glad you enjoyed some fresh ones today!
