Bog Lights



hung low swamp weeds
dark shapes rise like smoke
blog lights dance and swirl
tiny pensive beings wait
ancient souls weep our name

Yes, Melanie, those bog lights are mysterious. I like your take on it calling them beings.

I never have seen them, have you? They have them in Northeast Texas and Northwest Louisiana. Some say it is gas.

I like this a lot. With all your artful imaging it is like I am seeing them. :)

I am in Quebec City, Canada. I planned to be out tonight but it is raining and cool so what else but catch up on my blogging?
