The
elder
is a bush
with properties
that can heal the sick.
The common cold,
has no chance
when its’
used.
Elderberry wine
It's a knockout, first time round
Boxing time again
From Ireland, Deirdre's now calling
She wrote a Haiku that's appalling
If only she'd waited, with words reinstated
Her Haiku might now be enthralling
my fruit basket---
apples, bananas
fruit in my basket spring fresh
oranges, pears, dates
elderberry limes
lemons kiwifruit kumquats
honeydew melon
gooseberry grapes, figs
Marion berry, lychee
Basket ball for me

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.
Long summer days now memories
For leaves are turning now.
A tapestry of pastel hues,
Adorning twig and bough.
Still the elderberry though
Hangs ripe upon the bush,
A final flourish, a luscious gift,
Before winter's coming hush.

The laced-head heads
Of the elderberry flowers
Curtsied in acknowledgement
Of the sun arising east
The breakfast breeze
With the slightest ease
Had the lemon-grass skirt
Dance provocatively
The fairy-lace heads
Of the elderberry flowers
Agreed with exquisite manners
That the life-giving powers
Of the Light’s regal banners
Held the promise
Of a new day
A new day has come
Filled with promises
An elder berry said to one who was blue
“My lad, is there something you rue’
The youngster replied, “I haven’t a clue”
“Let us partake of this here rabbit stew
‘Capital idea,’ thus Sir Elderberry,
‘I hear tell it’s an excellent brew.’
“That’s the whole problem,” replied ‘Mr. Blue’
“I’m only 12, too young to drink, Elderberry ~ unlike you
There are numerous kosher wines, and they are usually sweet.
Without them, a Passover seder meal cannot be complete.
Among the flavors of wines are blackberry.
Another popular kind is made with elderberry.
If you want a sweet red wine, choose cherry.
Sweet cream concord comes as both dark and white.
Anyone can make a selection that is right.
As long as any rabbi considers them kosher,
they can be served at any Passover seder.
As a child I would place my closed eyes
in them
while she hummed Gaelic melodies.
Her smock, it was brown
like a butchers apron
but without a speck of blood,
just daubs of fruit dumplings
and the savor of elderberry flowers.
Grandmother had large hands
working hands,
when they closed
it was as if her story book
had closed
at the end of every day,
and that is how she goes away
always very quietly
at the end of every day.
