Congrats, Constance. We don't have juneberries in Newfoundland but we have lots of blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and cloudberries (which we call bakeapples). But juneberries look yummy! Take care. Jim

I like that you put some emotion into your tanka in that last part, Constance. This is what made it more like a tanka for me . Congrats on your win with this gem.
