tonight
I'm going out
to count the stars
wait up for me
I will bring some back

    Genie, Beautiful poem! I will think of this these cloudy days and nights,
    especially while it is raining the next three days. Reminds me of one of my
    favorite poems by Robert Frost, “choose something Like a Star.”

    This is an old tanka so all this stuff going on wasn’t going on. I know what you mean. Thanks for your comment.

    Thanks for leaving the light on. How are you Ernest? I’m back to writing short verse and teaching Haiku at El Camino College community non-credit education. Student response has been good.
