    A delightful haiku! We have brambles both in our garden as companion plants for our roses etc… and enough blackberries to make a pie or two! They too can be quite splotchy if you can't get to them in time. :-)

    Our safer walking route into a green space has brambles along the way, Mother Nature's barbed wire. I certainly hope all of the sidewalk stains were fruit-based!
