Very restless night last night. I hate colds… But every time I got up I added another line to a tanka I started about 12:20 a.m. So at least I was being creative!

firefly
he lights up my life
like a firefly lights up
an old mason jar
its soft golden glow pulsing
to the rhythm of my heart

That’s beautiful – and perhaps a little sad in the same way that my love poems are…

I kinda hoped I was mistaken. I feel the need to write a particular kind of romantic post every so often, because he’s with me always. I think those posts trip you up every time.

I love those firefly pictures! I wish we had them where we live. They had them at my grandma’s house when I was growing up and it was a treat to catch them at night when we visited.

I didn’t realize we had them anywhere in Utah, but I found a site on line that says we do…somewhere. I grew up with them in Ohio.

Night is the best time to jot things down. I get the best words at night if I don’t have pen/paper to hand they are lost for ever – I should live at night and sleep during the day.

Well, my little dragonfly, in my defense I WAS under the influence of both an antihistamine AND a cough syrup! LOL
