Poetry: On summer nights



Wednesday, June 24, 2009

Selections from Haiku Moment Memories, 2007; World Outside My Window, 2008; Twinklings, Haiku Reflections, 2008; from Starlight Syllables, 2009.

* * *

How did fireflies choose

This summer night to start their

Blinking yellow lights?

* * *

Child’s summer lantern:

Lightning bugs in a fruit jar

Turning on the switch.

* * *

Calling each by name,

He brings out every star —

Not one is missing.

* * *

Has that rising star

I see again this morning

Traveled ’round the world?

* * *

For a midnight snack,

Two exhibitionist stars

Make a moon sandwich.

* * *

Washed clean by the rain,

The pre-dawn stars shake themselves

And shine with freshness.

* * *

Smoke from a campfire

And smells of breakfast cooking

Drift up to the stars.
