Author`s Notes: The Strawberry Moon is a special Tercet poem that my wife, Ingrid, and I just completed today on July 6, 2018. We both decided to do this poem based on a recent experience we had one early evening last month in June, when we were driving back from another location in Northern Germany. With the advent of dusk, we both noticed immediately in the far-distant horizon the early beginning of the Strawberry Moon as it began literally peeking out, at first, and then progressively coming more fully into view as it made its ritual ascent toward the coming night sky. It was truly a most amazing event to see. Over time, as were still driving, we could clearly see and follow the full-ascent of its celestial track as it moved higher and higher into the night sky. A truly wondrous sight to behold in every respect! And so, that event served as the thematic genesis for our poem here. Enjoy the read! (Gary Bateman and Ingrid Krukenberg-Bateman)
