golden glow
reflecting on the water
river flows.
bonfire
on the riverbank
bullfrogs moo
children laughing
toasting marshmallows
staying up late.
campfire blazing
teens singing along
acoustic guitar.

By the river (haiga)
Published by Tournesol
A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com View all posts by Tournesol

We did for hours as a young child but I don’t think the fire was at that location…and it was a harmonica playing.
