Bugs & Insects Series:
dead orchard
the random blue sparks
of woolly aphids
3rd Place, 2018 Irish Haiku Society International Competition
Author's note:
This was written in response to a magical sighting of woolly blue aphids flitting about our campsite. Their iridescent winds and tiny, furry blue bodies make them look like woodland fairies. Those these little creatures are beautiful, they can also be deadly in numbers! this haiku is the title poem of my recent full-length collection, Random Blue Sparks (Snapshot Press, 2024).
