On the Cultivation of Fireflies — a poem
Eeek out a place
for yourself deep
in the woods – far
from the burr
of highways,
street racers,
the din of air termini.
Plant yourself
some tiny white
lights set
to blink.
Sit up in an unlit
window – watch,
wait
with childlike expectancy.

A memory from a recent trip to Upstate South Carolina, staying at a vineyard, where each night we were visited by the fairy lights of fireflies.

Silent Sunday
A Koi Fish — a haiku
large unschooled fish swims
deep below raging currents –
won’t rise to the bait

The beauty of Haiku is that it usually says more than it says.
