Best Juniper Poems

is the petrichor perfume
enveloping the sky,
between~
             you and I
as clouds splatter juniper sprinkles,
coalescing stubborn storms,
rinsing away stained foams
with raining roses,
serenading hymns of heaven,
calming the internal conflicts

“The Juniper Prize: Between the Known and the Unknown”

That man built a house 
of straw and sticks
and the stories that burned within -

all consuming the titled prize;

like a bird 
sings a song
the metre repeats and sticks.

yet, another banner, 
belies an untitled grimm feast 
for sore...

Although I hardly gave it a thought
I didn't really doubt
our miniature juniper, a bonsai,
would survive our desert vacation.
                           ...

Like a gnarled old elder it stands ancient
twisted scarred limbs like a scene in a horror
hacked and torn against time, 
beetle holes and wood pecker assaults
not withstanding, growing and thriving like time

The outlier cousine, a younger branch
stands tall and seemly a lithe woman
an odd pair,...

"Call me June."
Her voice is like fragile glass
Hand outstretched, fiery smile
Ivory skin smoother than a waveless sea
Her infinite charm is all I could see. 

"June May,"
I laughed, she shifted
Close to me, skin to skin
Her ebony hair sprawled on silk bed
Always had that faint lavender smell....

I am a most chaste being made of beauty
I thrive on chastity
I am fragility
I only do require of you to treat me fairly

I live in the garden of Eden
I live and blossom for a time so eternal
I am as pretty as a fairy maiden
Made of...

Upon a barren desert you stand
Sweet Juniper wooded and tall, 
All that you seek is a little space
Under the blue heavens to sprawl.

Does your forlorn wait over eons
Beget sacred blessings for you? 
Or is it disguised meditation
Of which mortals have not a clue? 

Do you...

In younger days, she ruled the stage,
Thrilling hearts of fans of every age.
Every living creature knew her name;
And the trees still whisper of her fame!

Her beauty was like the noonday rose,
Gripping, and then sweet memory as it goes.
Now retired to quiet life in the country,
To...

Juniper Purple
fabulous Kind,
Beautiful, blue, existing
Feelings such of happiness
Blossoming

Flowers
Fragrant, amazing smells
Maturing, flourishing, showing
purple so blushing
Flush

Upon birth, Juniper loved her name; no one else had it.
But then others heard it.
Now there are sixteen Junipers in the same class - her class.
The teacher wants to number them.
Juniper one, Juniper two, Juniper three.
The parents sign a petition they do not want their...

This morning on my walk I brought Juniper, a dog, along.
I wanted her to see the stars and hear the day’s first song.

I wanted her to enjoy the morning…to hear the night owl croon…
to see the ocean in the stillness of the dark illuminated by...

Juniper berries are a brilliant bright blue,
Prettier, not as dark as blueberry’s hue
While growing, prefer warm sunny spaces
Live on several continents, many good places

Add flavor to liquors are a diuretic too
Also, a stimulant, but what can you do?
If you come across one, don’t dive right...

I took our son and daughter-in-law’s dog, Juniper, for a walk this morning.
Junie still acts like a puppy even though she’s already 3…
So it’s fair to say, in retrospect…Junie was walking me.

Even though I had the leash…we zig-zagged down the paths she chose…
on a walk...

Juniper you might not see what everyone else seems to know

Let me help you out June
Man July came to soon
You were beautiful June...
