The blackberry-picking was not a simple childhood event, but one that remained close to the speaker’s memory and heart years after it took place. These devices serve to show once again the extent of the impact that the event has made on the speaker. “Rain and run,” “trekked and picked,” and “big blobs burned” are just a few of the several sound devices that the author uses to create interest within his anecdote. Additionally, stories are intended to be read aloud, and this poem’s abundance of alliteration and sound devices beg to be spoken. Evidently, these events have made a lasting impact on the speaker.
These comparisons convey the extent to which the experience of picking blackberries has affected the speaker because his memory of the event is so strong. The author uses extensive descriptive language in order to narrate the anecdote, comparing juicy blackberries to “thickened wine” and skillfully inserting visual adjectives like “peppered” to describe the appearance of their hands after the ordeal.
“Blackberry-Picking” is a poetic piece that tells a story about picking blackberries in the summer as a child.
