what is a swarmer?
Hi, Juan! A swarmer is like an ant with wings. I think it is also some kind of a termite. When they come out, usually they are very many, flying around a lamp or lightbulb or flourescent light. At the time I worte the haiku, there was just a few of them, one of which landed and crawled over the keyboard of my laptop whilw I was composing a haiku.
ah, got it! thanks roh mih. love your "a swarmer" poem ... i can really picture the flying ant pumping out an interesting piece by walking across your keyboard. :-)
The world is full of 'full-moon' haikus, but still you got something new!
