This Summer’s
dulcet legacy
ground
down to a saucy
red puree
to keep around
just a little longer
than the strawberry
June full moon
a last hurrah of local berries
little paler than the first batch
savored in the Spring
then again
when the apples are harvested
the reminder of your glory days
will linger
like a long lost lover's
last kiss
Our local whole life food club we shop at regularly mentioned that they would most likely not be getting any more strawberries this season. This made me sad .
We raced down to get one of the last batches .So I could prepare it to freeze for a later date . Our solstice with a strawberry full moon was a theme I used as well.
I live for local strawberries in the spring and summer .
