  1. The transformation of views — moving from a macrocosmic view to a microcosmic view -- is visually and emotionally effective, successfully portraying a summer night scene.

    Archana's beautifully-crafted haiku reminds me of one of my own:

    one by one
    fireflies escape my glass jar...
    starry night

    Editor's First Choice, "Insect / Bug" Haiku Thread, Sketchbook, 6:4, July/August, 2011

    It was written in response to the following haiku by Peggy Willis Lyles

    lights out
    ... the firefly
    inside
