Berries

Spray of scarlet berries
behind mother's nursing home,
not holly but just as gay,
with Christmas coming on.

I love you mother, very
-- each berry is a gem
sold to keep you here,
each arterial blood red.

and arterial blood is that red!
ctg i sent u sev dates?

by the way- in answer to another ?- the print version of Loch Raven will b ready after the winter issue

what kind of camera r u using? is it easy to load photos onto pib?

[ChrisGeorge]

Dave, the little pics I am posting are from my cell phone.  Would be distorted if I posted any bigger.  You probably need a hosting service to post pics.  I use Flickr but Photobucket is another.  Simple enough to post the URL in the coding above, second row of icons, second from left.  Got the dates.  Will get back to you shortly.

The simplicity in the redness always speaks volumes, Chris, regardless of the type, a beckoning all can relate. Liked. Happier Holidays.
