Bacciferous ... Blistered

Today’s word is “bacciferous” ... bak-sif-er-uhs ... Botany. bearing or producing berries. (Dictionary.com)

Blistered
Hiking in the Smokies,
We entered a new land,
Wandering in green undergrowth,
We were a merry band.

We had tents and walking sticks,
And food to rehydrate,
If there were no plants bacciferous,
We’d still fill our plates.

We lasted most of a whole week,
And learned a thing or two,
It is a young one’s hobby,
And you better have good shoes!
