The Creator ... created strawberries
Tempting fruit ... sublime treats
Nourishing and luscious offerings
Placed on earth for all to eat
Man created a cake to compliment them
Topping it with cool, sweet rich cream
Whipped to a high and sumptuous delight
Crafting a delicious offering supreme
A concoction of cake, cream and berries
A splendid example of divine expression
A result of creative energy flowing
From Creator to man's dessert delectation
EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! You have captured the truth perfectly, Gwen - and yummmmmmmmmm....I wish I could have some..........but nuts, i'm oh-so-allergic to this gift from God! When I was a child, my father cut a huge strawberry patch, and i was his only helper...it was a ton of work, weeding, but oh, the AROMA...that would waft in the country air.
Miss the air...miss my dad...thanks for the nostalgic moments, Gwen.

Okay, it's one of my favorite desserts, and I was hungry before I got here. So why did I come and read this poem, I don't know. A glutton for punishment I guess. LOL. Lovely ode to a delicious confection with proper respect to the Divine. :-) ~~Nordette
Ahhh such a heavenly dessert it is too; perhaps my very favorite of all, try it with just a little bit of chocolate sauce run around the rim of the plate...I am salivating at the thought. Delicious poem, Gwen.
Take care,

Don't know if I can forgive you for this Gwen!;-) I can taste it , will make me nutty all night looking for something like it grrrr! However, a great poem and good to see you!;-)
