aurora - thank you as always.

perhaps a word about the third one (guess borut would have more to say about it): there is a superstition that if one keeps fern seed on the solstice night, they're able to understand the animal language. that moth may have been a messenger... :)

OK, you're the 5th person I've seen writing about the solstice. (I did too) - It's nice - you see so many ideas on the same thing. We should do that some time on purpose. :)

Yeah, I like 'em too! I don't why the first one makes me want to giggle.

3 comments on the same subject - very good.
The first one is very short and precise (wonder how it would do in japanese?).
It always nice to have some superstition - it gives colour to our everyday life.

pris - glad you do... thank you.

kai - thanks... i'll come check it out :)

pat - thank you. the problem is, the fern has spores (don't think these account for seed)...

andrew - guess it's normal we try to record a date like the solstice... thanks.

vaughn - thanks. making you giggle is good enough for me :)

floots - i'm usually completely unconscious so early in the morning, and you are able to post such great comment... many thanks.

peter - :) (thanks)

ah, ashi, i missed your comment before - thank you for your kind words and the interesting thought - funny how the most ordinary things once expressed stir up our imagination...

Delightful solstice ku. And, polona, a tip of the hat on your editor's choice entry in the final issue of Haiku Harvest.
