from Lilliput Review #180WakaSimple,
homely as a wristband made
of woven grass
...yet I would live
a thousand years.

he likes the grass
of my umbrella-hat...

PS Since the blog folks haven't been able to play when it comes to the Monday Twitter poem, if you don't have Twitter and Facebook, I decided to start posting it here, too, without additional cross-postings. Enjoy.
Send a single haiku for the Wednesday Haiku feature. Here's how.

Even reading about a firefly brings me joy. I've always loved them so.
As one of those non-Twitter, non-Facebook folks, I thank you for adding this feature to your blog.

Very nice, Charles ... I always imagine that expansive area around your place filled with fireflies ...
Mark,
