Berry Nice, Thank You

Brightly colored beads

Jewels left behind

On naked arms and bare necks.

Recently washed

By the angry rain.

Refusing to break away

And tumble like the colored leaves.

Determined to glow

Even when the white snow

Crests their faces

In months to come.

Or, perhaps, waiting until someone eats them.
