Summer haiku



dangling my feet
in this river once again
a turn of the wheel

                                                                  velvet black night
                                                                  pulsing with frog song
                                                                  and fireflies

                                                                                                                                    in fading daylight
                                                                                                                                    farmhands in silhouette
                                                                                                                                    the fragrant hay bales
