What is the flavour of our sacred tree? I am trying t grow one in my garden along with other plants sacred to Celts. I found a list. I am trying to imagine the magic from a Rowan. You have shaken my brain (good thing).

One of the few wines I've not sampled. Sounds like it's my misfortune. Loved your Tanka though...

Rick it seems you are still in full tree mode and I couldn't be happier because of it. This was beautiful.

Great tanka. The middle line neatly divides the poem: berries above, wine below. Good luck in the contest :)
