It's funny where poetry finds us; over the weekend while I was grocery shopping I saw the most perfect pint of strawberries ( which are not usually in full season until June) so this is my ode to my 'summer fling'-

Good (fresh!) strawberries are enough to make me wax poetic, to... but I can't imagine a more aptly worded tribute than this. Beautifully done! ;)

Such fresh turns of phrases, Michelle: 'Ruby jewels of July,'...as fresh as a just-picked basket of strawberries. G.L. in the contest. Best wishes, gw

This was inspired by the most perfect pint of strawberries I saw in the store over the weekend - it's really about my 'summer fling' with strawberries :)
