Congrat’s Bart … and I adored your poignant finale .
“Mulberry season is precarious—
and a man can’t be held responsible
in these perilous times.”
… and thank you for the link to ‘MasticadoresUSA’

A short and lovely piece, Bartholomew, that brings to mind similar thoughts and experiences with my own mulberry tree. :)

  Thanks! I’m envious of your mulberry tree. Ever made a mulberry pie?

    I confess what I manage to pick I usually eat fresh, but mulberry pie sounds a fine enough temptation to resist! 😏

    Delayed gratification is excellent practice for a poet.
