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

4. 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.”

7. 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.
