	Mice are Nice By Rose Fyleman  I think mice are nice Their tails are long, their faces small They haven't any chins at all. Their ears are pink, their teeth are white. They run about the house all night. They nibble things they shouldn't touch And no one seems to like them much But I think mice are nice.
	Blackberry Poem By Clare Nicholls Drunken fruit, sweet berry bursts, Plumping and growing, fat with sun, We cram our mouths and ease our thirst, Swollen to fullness at the turn of the season. Each dark berry oozes juice like wine, A heady drink for the summer gone, Let bird and animal feast and dine, Before the tree will stand alone. The berry bush is frozen and bare, A bright red robin now perches there.
	My blackberry poem by Sophie Alice Marshall-Spencer Spheres moist Colour stains lips Eaten on heavy summer evenings. Dark berries Colour shifting purple blue black Enjoy on heavy summer evenings.
	Blackberries by Michael J Frankland Blackberries emerge ripe and plump Nestling amongst brambles within the wood Birds and insect feasting free Oh and one or two for you and me   Natures food grown with love and care With sun and rain they swell everywhere The juiciest ones being just out of reach Not for the birds and insects, they feast   A rich food to eat before autumn does start For to filling of larders their energy will part In preparation for the winter to come But until then to enjoy the fruit of the wood
	A bitter-sweet berry haiku by Sue Summers Berries Black and Ripe Bring Summer Fresh and Sweet Or Bitter with Worm
	Purple hands by Lynn Mottram Purple hands and purple mouth. How many go in the tub?, Sweet tasting  juicy berry, And in each one a grub. Aroma of a fresh baked pie Fills my culinary mind. Lovely home-made custard. Adds excitement to my find. Yet I will leave half my treasure, For others to have their fill. Mice with purple hands, And bird with purple bill.
