Senses, Fields of Strawberries


Green, with scattering of orange
patterns, space and immense shapes
over the fields filled with growth
my eyes feast.


Silence, an expanse of quietness
reverberates the air with stillness
no flapping wings, no winged creatures
my ears deafen.


Freshness abound
the air of its purity
characteristic aroma
my nose breathes.


Fresh, cold and delicate 
not as smooth to the touch
yet firm and bumpy
my hands caress.


Sweet, sour, never bitter
small bites, crunch, munch
devilishly tasty
my mouth waters. 

(Photos taken from my trip to Mae Sot)
silently spoken by at

    Back when I was a child, I really find strawberries and its flowers so beautiful.

    Can you pick strawberries in this farm? So beautiful. I'll try to plant berries this summer in our backyard. I hope the rabbits and the gophers won't eat them before us. I have a blueberry bush already.

    Hello Cristine,

    Thank you as that was the aim of this poem. It was just sad that I was not accompanied by someone when I went to this farm so I got no solo pic with the expanse of the field as a background. Have a great day!

    Hi Ms. Lili,

    I have never tried planting strawberries at home because I know it wont grow. I envy your berry planting spree and blueberries, unheard of in here.

    Yes, one is allowed to pick the fruit but I came in late afternoon and the pickers just did their jobs earlier. I bought some of their dried strawberries and I ate them like gaga.

    Thanks Joseph. Once in a while I write poems and I do appreciate kind comments from those who visit and read them. God bless!

    Same here. The strawberries available right now in the market are not as sweet from Mae Sot. I saw Valentines came early to you Cher Kat. :)

    Hello Sir Jo!
    Parang Baguio pala ng Thailand yang Mae Sot. Malamig ang klima. Very ideal sa pagtatanim ng strawberries :)

    makakapunta ulit ako ng strawberry farm sa October kasama ang family ko.

    Excited mamitas ng mga matatamis na munting prutas.

    Hi Fiel,

    Oo, para sigurong Mountain Province. Baguio kasi eh crowded just like Chiang Mai so Mt. Province ang comparison ko. Yan naman ang hindi ko pa napupuntahan.

    Hi Rix,

    May bunga na ba by October? Dito kasi, mayroon by December and more by January. Sa ngayon, paunti unti na lang. Happy trip sa October, family trip!
