New word for me!
Merriam Webster helped me out:
"Definition of grama: any of several pasture grasses (genus Bouteloua) of the western U.S."
(Great! I'll be looking for this is a crossword!)
Love this haiku. Fireflies/ sparks from a campfire -- it all comes full circle and in an elegant fashion.
Great image to accompany!

Chris,
You taught me a new word. I was able to decipher "grama" from context, but looked it up to find the details. What an interesting observation to see fireflies as sparks from a campfire. I liked the soft swirl/sweeping, punctuated with the harsher sparks. Very nice.
