jarful of fireflies
becomes child's lantern in dark
lights world of wonder 

***

earth, sea, sky
god-stuff surrounds us
all sacred

(off prompt for Kristjaan's word)

  2. I've heard of people all over Europe not seeing a firefly and now out west. Yet google says they are all over the world. Something happening to firefly population?! Guess I take it for granted. I've lived near a river since the 60s and they tend to like water. Thanks for liking my haiku, Lolly!

  5. I never caught them in a jar but I always hoped those who did released them safely afterwards. Karma... Thank you, jrb and Wabi!
