The Haiku Challenge prompt for today is scintillate.
The first poem hearkens back to one of the earliest poems of the challenge:
at festival’s heart
a bonfire scintillating
in time with the drums
The second poem has been flashing in my head since I first read the prompt list:
fireflies scintillate
celebrating the warm nights
with summer fireworks
