The Moon In June

the face of the first full moon shines,
                                reflecting lush and fertile fields,
                            where nature’s sweet abundance yields
                            strawberries sprawling on trailing vines;
                                     for aromatic berry wines.

Oh Paulette! This is as lovely, and tranquil, as "sprawling" berry vines in the moonlight. A beautiful moonlit scene. Congratulations on your win. Blessings!

Hello Paulette, yes i agree strawberry wine would be betterer on ice cream. Hugs. Enjoy your day.

Thanks for stopping by to comment, Darlene~Strawberry wine is quite sweet, it is not a favorite of mine but it has a lovely aroma and I think it would be perfect drizzled over vanilla ice cream. :)Paulette
