coalescing stubborn storms,
rinsing away stained foams
with raining roses,
serenading hymns of heaven,
calming the internal conflicts

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...

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.

Always had that faint lavender smell....

I am as pretty as a fairy maiden
Made of...

Sweet Juniper wooded and tall,

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...

Beautiful, blue, existing
Feelings such of happiness

Maturing, flourishing, showing

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...
