Latest incarnation of a poem I've written and re-written various times over the years.
When I was five
Breathing in the dew
of pre-dawn light
and plucking beetles
from blooming crape myrtles,
letting them scurry
across my hand and
take frenzied flight
through soft orange rays,
whistling a cheery hymn
to the morning muse.
