Wooden Berry Punnets
They were standard half a pound
of berry freight, ply-wood punnets
filled the carriers and trays in sound
held container vessels designer set
by treed-nature's making, till the plastic
of the sixties replaced these naturals
with the extruded fossil-fueled mastic
designed to be obsolescent on call.
They would now be seen as organic;
crafted wood of pine for raspberries,
or strawberries, any of the fantastic
spring small fruits, all rubus species
that filled a punnet to crown it round
with the fast-fruit raised of good ground.
