time stirs incensed sparks
a moon of juniper dreams
amidst this wild heart
aching to be cloaked in pine ~
sweet love … brushed in warm lilac

JUNIPER
Jubilant seasons come anytime on your way
Using an evergreen bush and tree everyday
Nice for dresses, foods, drugs, decors, display
In December, it’s a Christmas tree, hooray!
Pick the best types based on purpose
Elegant perfume, air-freshener’s scent for your nose
Rake the seeds for your home landscape, I propose.

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.

Expressed in religious celebration
Rejecting evil spirits in between.

Juniper
An old lady from North America,
Owned an evergreen shrub called Ithaca,
Its cones weren’t aromatic,
She stored them in her attic,
One night she transformed into silica.

Using its sheen,

In a pattern pristine,
Presenting a keen,
Earthy fragrance clean,
Releasing into air serene.

I first met you, heard you on a beach in Cornwall, Jennifer;
I fourteen, you, a soft, mellow chanted, sybaritic siren.
Still, the Hurdy Gurdy man stopped, looked across, smiled at this boy.

The Juniper Prize: Between the Known and the Unknown
“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 hungry eyes -
ravenous writers
devour their characters
easily mindful, with or

Juniper Rain

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
like soft rays of morning stars…
Tonight, I follow the distant sirens,
echoing

THE SMELL OF JUNIPER
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 the moon.
I wanted her to walk under the trees…feel the

juniper berries
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 in
They are bitter off the vine said my cousin Jin.
