          Berry-Sticky
          By Kathleen Clark

          When summer sizzled
          and hazy skies buzzed,
          I’d follow the dusty path
          to the backyard berry patch.
          It didn’t matter that flies or honeybees
          had tasted the ruby nectar before me.
          My skinny arms and lanky legs
          bled a patchwork red
          from thorns and vines,
          but I didn’t mind.
          One for the bucket, two for me.
          The sun-warmed berries popped
          so easily between my cheeks;
          each sticky, sweet, sugary treat
          Slipping slowly down my chin
          left a purple-y grin.
          One for the bucket, two for me.

Grades 5 and 6
8. WRITE the following with pen, on lined, 3-ringed binder paper:

          Country Vegetables
          By Eleanor Farjeon

          The country vegetables scorn
          To lie about in shops,
          They stand upright as they were born
          In neatly-patterned crops;

          And when you want your dinner you
          Don’t buy it from the shelf,
          You find a lettuce fresh with dew
          And pull it for yourself;

          You pick and apronful of peas
          And shell them on the spot,
          You cut a cabbage, if you please,
          To pop into the pot.

          The folks who their p[otaroes buy
          From sacks before they sup
          Miss half of the potato’s joy,
          And that’s to dig it up.

Grades 7 and 8
9. WRITE the following with pen on lined, 3-ringed binder paper:

          from Blueberrries
          by Robert Frost

          “You ought to have seen what I saw on my way
          To the village, through Mortenson’s pasture today:
          Blueberries a big as the end of your thumb,
          Real sky-blue, and heavy, and ready to drum
          In the cavernous pail of the first one to come!
          And all ripe together, not some of them green
          And some of them ripe! You ought to have seen!”

          “It must be on charcoal they fatten their fruit,
          I taste in them sometimes the flavor of soot.
          And after all, really they are ebony skinned:
          The blue’s but a mist from the breath of the wind,
          A tarnish that goes at a touch of the hand,
          And less that the tan with which pickers are tanned.”
