my prayers are like fireflies

captured in bell jars

without airholes,

left for dead, forgotten by morning,

dumped into the grass,

blown away as they dry

  

 

i fear i am

another forgotten miracle

like fireflies in a jar

(who will see me

before the light goes away?)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many people claim to be poets, and few actually are~~I am not one of those persons.

    Your self-effacing statement at the top of your page is curious in that the ‘generally’ accepted definition of a poet is such; someone imaginative or creative, an artistic person or, a writer of poems, especially as a vocation. I say this because, after reading one of your recent works, “geisha,” I am wholly convinced that you are indeed, ‘a poet.’
