Blackberry picking

The poems “Blackberry-picking” by Seamus Heaney, and “Blackberry Eating” by Galway Kinnell are both excellent depictions of the essence of the blackberries.

Without the internet, it may be fair to say that the global economy we know of today would conceivably collapse. Where the internet makes it easy to order products and supplies for consumers and retailers all over the world that convenience would obviously be lost if the internet would cease to exist and import and export markets throughout the globe would surely crumble. Some may see this view as a dramatic interpretation, but just thinking about all of the products and services that are managed
