Fireflies

Beneath hardened and thickened wings, Twinkling soft and cold mystical lights mesmerize. Showing off Reels, jigs, poussettes, and flings. Dark nooks cutely they burglarize. Swaying around their electronic duff, Spreading friendly vibes, they light up the dark. Elated with joy they flash out language of love. Lost in their sight I dodge like a narc. Smitten with their joyful acts of wheedle. They are as precious as they contrive. Yes, I am flattered by these cute little beetles. For they spread smile though for just few days they survive. Word Reference: Narc: Police officer who specializes in laws dealing with illegal drugs Duff: Buttocks Reels: Swaying Jigs: Lively dance with leaping movements Poussettes: Swing in a semicircle with hands joined with one's partner in a country-dance. Flings: A short period of enjoyment Contrive: Create or bring about (an object or a situation) by deliberate use of skill and artifice Smitten: Be strongly attracted to someone or something Wheedle: Use flattery to persuade
