Notes About The Poem

Inspired by a June 2025 contest sponsored by Andrea Dietrich.

Juneberries

June brings a remarkable berry. 
July’s reveal is quite eerie! 
Jokester jumps up to laugh.
Just a lookalike! It’s a chaff!
Juneberries are a mistake, 
Jesting at its genuine fake. 
Jinxed, a blueberry to imitate.
