It's been a good Sunshine Challenge. I enjoyed the colour prompts very much. In keeping with the suggestion in the original post, I am offering an English sonnet to anyone who wants one. Give me a prompt [e.g., a color, maybe one not covered in the challenge, pink, grey, brown, etc. or a shade, e.g., dark turquoise; or a fruit; or an image; or a fandom, see mine on AO3] and I will do my best to get you 14 lines of iambic pentameter by August 30. Ta!


Blackberries

blackberries by okapi

on vines, plump blackberries hang heavy, low
along an ant-hilled road, fat honeybees
crisscross, drunk-dance in circles, steady, slow
through swollen, hot-hazy, late summer ease

worn bucket fills, plump fingers, lips are stained
hard sun twists into blisters, ancient thorns
hook, snag, cake-thick air innervated, drained
distorts all but sharps tips which fruit adorns

fine trickle of sweat, wide swipe of rolled sleeve
dark purple trove collected, fetched away
for rich dessert while more are left to cleave
on brambling vines, hanging heavy, stray

how faded far-off is the memory
of blackberries’ late summer husbandry

And grapes! They're called 'red' and 'black' but they look purple to me!
