Sometimes I have to pull over in the car because poetry pops into my head...

"A Competition of Luminous Spheres"

The moon, a jar to catch
the fireflies
who drift past my neighbor's
field, slowly reveals its
glow.



currently listening to : Missy Higgins, The Wrong Girl

I like your poem. It is a good length.

Also, I didn't know you liked Missy Higgins. She is wonderful and Australian.

i love those "have to pull over the car" moments... i had one recently and had to ask a street vendor for a napkin to write it down. he was kind enough to give me one.
and, i like your poem. it reminds me of summer nights in nc, which is a nice thing to be reminded of.
