    i love the short depth of field in your photo, and the high contrast between red and green, which your haiku highlights very well. :-)

    Thank you, Greggo!

    Spectacular photo and haiku. I particularly like the phrase ‘digestion’s palate’. I see the color. Nice!

    Thanks, Susan, I wasn’t sure how others would take that phrase.

    Gorgeous! The red and green really pop — and your haiku is really nice!! I love the feeling of transition in this from eye to palate.

    Clare, I was so involved in taking the photos, I never thought to try one. Thank you, the colors in the photo drew me more than the objects, actually.

    You make me want to go gather berries!

    Juliet, we missed the farmers markets this weekend, I was hoping they would have a few berries left…. I haven’t yet learned what I can eat on our natural hill, I forgot to ask the previous owners.

    Darling haiku and photo! I want to reach out and taste it ;)

    And I wanted to romp in the field of wild flowers you posted. Thank you, Getzen.

    Berries are perfect tiny treasures indeed, easily swallowed, by us or birds.

    Perfect tiny treasures, I like that description, spacedlaw.

    Great reference to the way the colour only last in its current form. And ‘Berry bright red for the eye’ is such a pleasing phrase - I’m singing it to myself!

    Jem, I’m so glad you were singing it. Made my day.

    Note: Patricia/Roswila tried to add this comment, but I had so cleverly had this box and the font both in white for a few hours that day…. grin:

    I love the contrast in both the photo and the haiku. I also enjoyed the implied comparison between visual hunger and physical.

    Patricia - thank you for going through all that to comment!

    Oh, I really like the photo and the way the berry feeds both the eye and the mouth. So nice.

    Thank you, Plain Foolish.
