haiku for children

(for Rowan's daughter, Sparky!)

Sparklers sprinkle stars

at my feet as I trace my

name upon the air.


* * * * * * *

Sparky's name inspired me to some alliteration! I still love sparklers. As a girl, I could never write my name in the snow, but I could write it on the July air and laugh to feel the faint prick of sparks as they scattered. I know this Independance Day I will write my own name and Sparky's on the sky and delight in knowing that some things still feel the same no matter how grown up I get!
