Lightning Bugs of July
None of the phenomena can compare with the flicker of fireflies in the evening. Fireworks are dwarfed in size to them, even a parade.
They are crystal lamps of joy, compared to the joy we try to seek for ourselves from our weekly earnings.
They make July a special month, like what snowflakes are for December.
Lightning bugs of July illuminate the suburban lawns
and glitter, I wish you could take their show
into your heart and look at them as important
as the plans we make.

Poetry is important to my life because it gives me a way of saying things I never imagined were in me. My poems deal with all kinds of subjects, my attitude on today's culture, art, corporations, nature, etc. But these aren't the only things that I write about in my poetry. I don't have a favorite poet, but probably Michael McClure is the poet I have learned the most from, from his readings on YouTube.
