all weights and measures -
labels jostle attention
colours seek to please
glimpse of strawberries -
light bounces off clear plastic
from grocery store lanes

I like the image of light off plastic.
What a luscious red those strawberries!
Sad that strawberries don't grow in your climate there, but I would guess you do have other very delicious fruits that probably don't grow here. It all equals out, I guess. Smiles.
Thanks Bill

I bought some strawberries today and added them to my spinach salad. They were delicious.
Strawberries always seem to growing somewhere in Australia so they are rarely out of the shops. One of the advantages of living in the "Big Country"!
I bought some big, organic strawberries. Yesterday. Yum.
Love the cheerfulness you bring in you writing. Thank you Gillena and I hope you had a great day.
I also had strawberries from the store, boxed in plastic. How could I pass them by!?
Aren't those strawberries...all neatly wrapped with the light shining off the plastic....glorious and tempting? Mmm. I can't wait to go buy some myself :-)
strawberries are not available in our place though we get plenty of food with strawberry flavor but not the fruit...last year one of my colleagues planted strawberry but mosquitoes played havoc with it...we're waiting this season...lets see what happens..your poem makes me long for those luscious items :)
Only way to see strawberries, living in the concrete jungle..in supermarket aisles!

There is a lot of joy here...i too love seeing the new fruits arrive...we are starting to have strawberries here too - they are lovely!
Strawberries grow here in Florida, but they are ripe in February and March ... Now it is too hot and they are gone until next year. But when we travel to Oregon on the pacific coast in June they will just be getting ripe there. So we wait!
I scrolled around your blog and enjoyed your poetry and pictures ... A lovely first visit to you and beautiful Trinidad!
Beautiful poetry and image Gillena. Thanks so much for sharing the love up-close with I Heart Macro ♥

A very nice poem. Yes strawberries are in the lanes now and they are ripe.
Gillena,
The brazen red packaging and images, make those strawberries more than simply enticing; ready to eat, instantly!!
