Ever had one of those days where you're this close to convincing a statue to join your poetry slam? No? Just me? O-ya-ya~! 🌸🔥 Today I composed a haiku for the stone lion outside the funeral parlor. It went like this:

'Silent guardian,\nYour roar frozen in moonlight—\nTrade stone for fireflies?'

...It didn't respond. BUT! I did catch it winking at a passing butterfly. Coincidence? I think NOT!

(Client, if you're reading this, don't mind the scorch marks by the doorstep. The fireflies got slightly overenthusiastic during the encore.)
