It be August
\nAnd the poet stares
\nAcross the mountains
\nSingles and pairs
\nOf Bilberries
\nHigh elevations
\nMany names
\nAnd illustrations<\/p>\n
Wind berry also blay berry
\nHeather berries too
\nHuckleberries
\nAll these names
\nWhere the gorse and Heather view
\nStems upright and bushy
\nA cogwheel circle seen
\nOne fruit per stalk
\nRed fleshed
\nA flourishing scene<\/p>\n
A reverence for Nature
\nStar berries sometimes called
\nMasses of them drench the mountain sides
\nMyrtillus hauled
\nForaging in late July
\nand early August we
\nCan
\nBag ourselves some woody heights
\nAnd a wonderful draught of tea <\/p>\n
Powder the leaves and sprinkle
\nAround one\u2019s new abode
\nRemove the hex or run of bad luck
\nComing down the road
\nAcidic soil near silver birch
\nA goodly chance to find
\nMasses of these healthy sorts
\nAlL bound to blow one\u2019s mind <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
