A Transcript of Today’s Episode
Hello, it’s Wednesday, July 5th, 2023, and welcome back to Haiku Daily, a poetry podcast that brings you two haiku every weekday, the second one, by me, Kyle G. Jones. This podcast invites you to slow down and reflect on moments in time caught in the amber of a poet’s attention and words. I’ll read each haiku twice with space in between.
Our first haiku comes from Masaoka Shiki:
Everyone's gone home. The fireworks are over. How dark the night is!
A moment for reflection

Our second haiku was written by me
fireflies light up the sky Fourth of July weekend
A moment for reflection
