You love that strawberry moon! Great rhythm.
ReplyDeleteI am always enchanted by the moon. The June moon happens to be the strawberry moon as that is when the most berries will be picked. Sweet and juicy ...
DeleteHarvesting dreams, basket of hope....I so enjoyed this. Sensual and yet and bit of innocence there. when one plants strawberries, you truly do harvest dreams. I like the thought of a strawberry moon. Hayes Spencer is Kanzen Sakura
ReplyDeleteThe Algonquin's have named the June moon for the harvesting of strawberries. I think we need to channel our energy and harvest our best intentions/dreams.
Deletei do love strawberries... and at the moment you get them here at the farmer's market - fresh and handplucked...hmmm... strawberry moon... i like that
ReplyDeleteI have been eating strawberries on my cereal this week and putting them in my salads.. They really are delicious.
DeleteOh those strawberries.. soon we will have the first ripe ones here in Sweden.. and that together with the moons sounds wondrous...
ReplyDeleteAh, to sit under that strawberry moon and partake in some strawberries and cream...yum...and perhaps to dream a bit...
DeleteMmmm, I like strawberries.And the moon, full and red is a beautiful thing as well.A drum circle or a dream meeting? I like how harvesting the dreams, I still get in my head it is like harvesting strawberries. We used to harvest strawberies when we lived in florida.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever go to a strawberry festival? I went to one in Florida. Maybe, we can handpick dreams?
DeleteLove the imagery of strawberry moon ~ How sweet the night is or was ~ Thanks for joining in ~
ReplyDeleteHi Grace...I still find the moon alluring..
DeleteA strawberry moon, beats actual strawberries any day haha
ReplyDeletehaha - yeah you wouldn't want to eat them, but I do enjoy them.
DeleteI had never heard of the Harvest Moon being called Strawberry, but it is a cool description.Your piece conjures hope, celebrates peace, balance, truth.When we plant something, we project/expect to be there to harvest or witness its bounty.
ReplyDeleteHi Glenn, it was a strawberry moon named for the month of June as that is when most strawberries are picked. That is true when we plant that seed we nurture it with the vision that it will grow and be fruitful. Thanks for visiting I always enjoy reading your comments.
DeleteOh a strawberry moon. Delicious! I love the way this poem cascades down the page, like a bowl of the tumbling fruit! Love the drumbeats, too, in your poem.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry,
DeleteI like the thought of that a bowl of tumbling fruit...you know I do enjoy a good drum beat.
Wonderful analogy with a poem shaped to express it. Strawberries are so good right now. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria,
DeleteStrawberries are in their peak ripe and juicy...such a delicious treat..

ReplyDeleteThanks, a basket of hope is a wonderful gift I think.
DeleteI prefer eating the strawberries in their luscious, juicy perfection! There is an enchanted dance in your poem though, marked also by those unruly downward lines.
ReplyDeleteStrawberries are delicious...darn those unruly lines..smiling..
DeleteThe Strawberry moon can easily be remembered with the juicy fruits in sight!
ReplyDeleteHank

DeleteYum yum - lovely words of the strawberry moon and baskets of hope.
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
Thanks Anna...may your basket always be filled...
Deleteimagery as pure as the moon itself; the hint of romance is evident as well. I def saw that moon - was a beauty. I love how bright and full its been the past few days.
ReplyDeleteOh, that moon did have a glorious glow..
DeleteI enjoyed the inspiration you found in the strawberry moon! I enjoyed the idea of 'harvesting dreams,' and under a strawberry moon seems like the perfect time. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteI agree...I wonder how many strawberries are picked each year? I bet the number would be amazing.
DeleteI loved this one. And the poem always goes perfectly with the picture.
ReplyDeleteYou're so good.
Ah, thanks Sandra your comment is kind..smiling..
