Long Glowworms Poems

She comes to me when e’er she will,
When starlight sprinkles my windowsill.
When the dew finds rest upon the grass

I go outside to be with her,
To share a moment soft and...

Like cold mood of a play, blinks blue lit sky
Dark clouds, like ghostly shadow shows, puff up

Moon moves toward dusky clouds that puff up
A night heron flies across the...

bombshells arrest eyes
of mini suns erupting
