blackberries
~
floricanes bend
with August weight
shape an archway
show the path
~
through brambles
to lake
pergola unfastens
gate, entices
~
pickers
into wicked thorns
sweet indigo
temptation
~
primocanes snag
hems of gloves
ankles of socks
handles of baskets
~
angry scratch
for every berry

Hope you are enjoying this blackberry summer.
All my best,

Without context, some might take floricane colloquial term for a Florida hurricane. Both floricane and primocane are new words for me, and I assume for most readers.

Yes, I often use terms in my poems that are unfamiliar. Thanks for the comment because, used to these terms, I am not always understanding of the confusion. I often include footnotes with poems, to explain unfamiliar terms and likely this one would be a footnote candidate!
