Strawberry Field

There was an unfortunate typo in my last article I am trying to fix now. In an exhausted stupor I linked in my article to the amazing poet I was inspired by (foolish human)

She goes by JFHadfield and you really should go follow!

Check out my second prompt below.

(S/n she has July prompts up which I wanna do 😭 but I already overcommit so yea— we’ll see how this thing plays out in the end)

Ooh if you like strawberries keep reading please!

Strawberry

You leave me tasting

Strawberry

And excitement rushes to fill this vacant lot

But I wear my patience

Strawberry seeds

Planted thoughts from enchanted eyes leave my chest in knots

Like your lace teddy the

Strawberry one

Or your heels after wearing your heels with the bottoms that were

Strawberry

But back to ground breaking lots

I’ve seen pavement buckle

So i pray stay humble

And patient

I love fruit—

And you know that I love gardening, too

So I told myself I’d build you a greenhouse

On a vacant lot

I grew up, bouncing between vacant lots

and it’s something about the taste of

your strawberry that’s almost home
