Food Poems - Blueberries by Robert Frost

Food Poems - Blueberries by Robert Frost: "Blueberries

Blueberries as big as the end of your thumb,

Real sky-blue, and heavy, and ready to drum

In the cavernous pail of the first one to come!

And all ripe together, not some of them green

And some of them ripe!
You ought to have seen!
Robert Frost"
