Poised

Some save the best for last. Not us!
These yucky berries can sit here a while.
They aren’t so very tasty, even though,
You can spot them from a country mile.

As brightly colored as they are,
Like a bit of sweetened candy to the eye,
If their taste were closer to the image,
Then none of us would deign to pass them by.

On the coldest, darkest Winter morning,
When the biting, savage fury rears and rips,
We will snuggle deeper in the thicket,
With these bitter morsels poised upon our lips.

Sit and relax with some breakfast before starting the errands of the day.
Coffee is fresh brewed and the juice is fresh squeezed.

Evening everybody, I thought I was done shopping, LOL. Oh well, I'm tired but I think I finished shopping today... I think, not sure yet. I might have to check on Friday again.
Happy Lemon Cupcake Day.
