Summertime
along the roadway
cardboard paths wind through brambles
where locals freely come to pick sweet
berries from the prickly vines.
Purple juices stain
my fingers.

My example poem
It Must Have Been Something I Ate (Septet II)
Cogitate
let thoughts incubate,
deliberate at some length
contemplate if thinking is your strength,
then speculate and
ruminate.
