Juno

powerful juno
roman queen of strong women
your song we still sing
as we escape twinned clutches
of crushing weeds to flower

Love it Ann. I wrote a couple using 'Juno' but neither were as good as yours, so I went with another 'J' word. Congratulations! :)

I love " twinned clutches" that is so very new and unique and your take on the prompt too is very refreshingly beautiful to the eyes and soul dear poetic soul! Brilliant tanka! Congratulations on your placement! Sending you light
