sweet rosaceae
there beneath the juniper tree
bursting buds of berry blue,
a greening grove of blackberries’
white blossom clusters bloom
cousin of the thorny rose
ambrosia of the fae
goddess plant, its sacred fruit
fills pies on Brigid’s day
lovely, this midsummer fare
bright leaves for healing tea
berry clusters plump and sweet
there beneath the juniper tree
