crowded campfire

a passage I heard someone quote and I paraphrase---
"I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it to myself, than be crowded upon a jeweled cushion..." something like that. Thoreau perhaps?
I also enjoy quiet times of reflection, without the intrusion of others' inane jabber. But other times, I find being alone very lonely. We are human...
well done SJ
This poem was mentioned in the Archival Review thread, in a picking through Lit's archive of over 36,000 poems.

I know nothing about haiku but I love the visual image created by such a sparse rendering. Like looking at a photograph. Lovely!
