Sultry night. (Haiku)




Sultry night
mosquitoes buzz,
pitcher-plant's smile.

    Oh for a sultry night, or any night above freezing. Winter has gripped us in an arctic chill, and a lovely blanket of ice!
    Beautiful picture you have penned once again.

    evidently, Bones, you're also a poet

    Love the poem and the border you chose to go along with it. Did the graphic conjure the poem, I'm wondering. Or did you have a serendipitous find online after penning it? I am always intrigued by such side-bar issues....no need to answer, if you're busy. Thanks for sharing this delightfully evocative piece.

    good

    Well penned. You brought up many good memories of camping and night-times crawling with bugs.

    thanks,

    John

    The background gives a homey pitch, to me anyways. The piece I feel accentuates upon on it, and brings other aspects as well to life.
