Notes About The Poem

Contest, "High Fives For June"   Sponsor, Andrea Dietrich

Note: In many cultures, juniper is a symbol
of protection, purification, and longevity.
And they were believed to have magical powers
to ward off evil spirits. (Google)

 

Juniper

Juniper- a genus of evergreen

Under the cypress family list;

Neath scented leaves, new berries are green.

It had a place in mythology's mist. 

Protection, Long life, Purification

Expressed in religious celebration

Rejecting evil spirits in between.
