Takes me back to my childhood days… beautiful haiku Mark.
Not my experience, but nevertheless lovely !
Lovely imagery. 🙂
That is one kind of lantern… wonderful
I’m not a little boy, but jars of fireflies were next to my bed on summer evenings in rural Indiana. Nicely captured!
Imagine the light of a hundred fireflies, magnified by the glass of the jar. Interesting!
i can very well imagine the boy’s delight at his capture
lovely haiku
much love…
That glow… is seen all the way over here.
A little boys face is lit up by the glow of his living lantern.
Yes!
