Signature Silence
a remote forest,
its pond motionless, moonlit;
a sudden cloud of Mayflies
sweeps down across the water:
sudden, ghostly koi feeding
w/ thrashing and leaping,
only to vanish in time....

Idyll (Idyl)
By Cosmic Tide
Our lives at best be sandcastles
Meant to last no longer
Than a Mayflies flight
Mere structures of sand
Ne’er meant to stand…
But to be washed away
Before break of day
By the cosmic tides
…Of Night…

Sloth Summer
Bare Mayflies fan
above the reeds.
Smooth water flows
its forward bonds,
by laps on shore
to seal its deeds.
Abundantly,
the soft waves grind
a fluid line,
warm season’s clock
as both entwine,
wet sands keep time
small grains from out
the shore line rock...

A Day In May
I dip my toes into the lake
beneath our dock of Summers gone.
Chilled skin meets sun, soft in their wake
as Mayflies hum in misty dawn.
A day of flushed sky overhead.
Bare legs sway from the splintered planks
to songs of joy unlimited
as loons take flight from marshy banks.

Mayflies ::Rannaicheacht Mhor Gairit
[center][b]
After birth
has shortest lifetime on Earth.
Its called as 'one-day insect'
No regret, one day thenceforth.
Mayflies swarm
And within this shortest term
of life, mayflies form the groups,
and oops! dance too, that's the norm.
The mayfly
as nymph spends lifetime safely.
only purpose is to breed;
That's the creed, follow namely.

Mayflies
ephemeral cloud
zillion life cycles daily
brahma sleeps awhile
.......
Notes:
In Hindu Cosmology Brahma goes to sleep for a period of 4.32
billion years, which is a period of time equal one day (of Brahma)
The Life of the Mayfly (Ephemeroptera) is very short (ephemeral) , typically one day when it has to find food, mate, lay eggs and die.

Hexagenia Hexsonnetta
These big mother mayflies
spend larval lives in mud
eating detrital crud,
then molt and take to skies
to mate, lay eggs and die
hand on to newer blood.
Freedom's brief days passed
water phase starts anew
next cycle to accrue.
From time's undying past
through eons have they last,
each generation true.
Delectable to trout,
match the hatch or you're out.
Inspired by John Gerrach's Sex, Death and Flyfishing...

Life Is Like a Maypole
The ring of the sun
Spring to their steps young mayflies
Singing and flinging their love
To rainbow streamers
Prancing and capering elves
And frisky kittens of earth
