Brilliant, the twist, a great juxtaposition, and the fireflies a summer kigo, a winner for me, best wishes for the contest, Mick

Quote John Lawless, “Thank you Mick, high praise from the "master"....much appreciated.” unquote. You're too kind John, you honour me big time! I am definitely no Basho, but I try. Humbled, I thank you most graciously, Mick

I'd be jealous if I weren't over the moon with my Monarch visits ;)

Hey, Maureen, I was watching a massive movement of fireflies over the holiday....hot nights, dark skies and an electric side show....
