Peaches sunkissed
drip love juice down
elbows and sticky
sugared
chins
Tomatoes vine ripe
and naked
needing nothing
except
eaten
Berries bursting
with frosted color
waiting to
freeze summer
in a bag
Freckles popping
on brown skin
my heart is
sun ripened -
pick me

Lovely images of summer, Kathleen. I particularly like "sugared/chins", "waiting to freeze summer/ in a bag" and the entire last stanza.
Ah, this is our scene too. Peachy chins and blackberry juiced hands.
Blessings.
i ate blackberries on my walk this mornin'
and shared a peach with cj when i got back home.
Very lovely ... your words put me right into that place in time.
This is delicious!
A lovely poem. Wonderful!
