Strawberries
Large red heart shaped
Waiting to ensnare
Lighter at the core
Soft succulent
A summer treat
Artificail coxed to a sad perfection
You are over priced
Over engorged
Watery and compared to your ragga muffin ancestor –
Insipid
For the races,
For the hotels
For Pimms with ice and mint
But as nothing to the wild
Smaller than a finger tip
Mostly a ghostly white
They taste of strawberry
intensified
glorified
And best of all free!
Nestled in the hedgerows
Consumed by passing birds
And those few who know the secrets
Same really I can eat neither
Stupid food allergies.
