raspberries in winter
On December 11, 2016 (from 10 AM to 4 PM), I will be at the Delta Hotel (Fredericton, New Brunswick) at Sandra’s Christmas Market Fredericton to sell my paintings and books. If you are in the Fredericton area, please pay me a visit!

I have a new painting for sale at the event. December 8, 2016 ‘raspberries’ is painted in acrylics, 7″ x 5″, gallery edges, unframed. It reminds me of picking raspberries on a summer day.

mended by raspberries
for Mary
~
drove all the way to Flume Ridge
to pick those berries, large as thimbles
~
red as blood after we’d pricked
our fingers on needled vines
~
crossed the covered bridge to nowhere
the through road blocked, the way broken
~
the covered bridge at our backs
the roar of the flume in our ears
~
the tipple of honey bees
lightheaded in the berry canes
~

This poem appears in my book, within easy reach, Chapel Street Editions, 2016.
