I<\/strong><\/em>t was so hot and humid on Bastille Day 2006, we offered distractions in the form of fireflies and breezes. This year, the weather was darn nice for July 14th. In fact, too nice to do much more than offer a reprise this evening. Here are a few from 2006; find more from some of our favorite guest haijin at the post “of breezes and fireflies<\/a>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A<\/em><\/strong> year ago today, we celebrated Bastille Day with ten poems from Laryalee Fraser. Here are a pair, and I suggest you check out the rest of them right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
