It seems like introducing sound was definitely the vibe for capping this verse. A nice play on the original John.

Lovely Joe! 🖤 Wonderful sense of scale in this one, from the very very large, to the very very small.

I've never written a "fireflies" #haiku, so here's one by my favourite English-language haikai poet @solarprof225.bsky.social (Laurence Stacey):

Lovely ku John - and a nice set of references which give it some vertical depth. Great work. One thing I might venture - if I may be so bold - when capping a ku, it is customary to not repeat the core image. Since kites have already been mentioned, they are a bit redundant (with so few words). :-)
