Firefly--Acrostic

Flappers zoom with gentle reels of caprice
In twinkling shade coated by moonlit fleece
Roulette of wings dazzle to glaze skyline;
Enchanted, aisles of boughs play with the vine
Fireflies like jeweled dots swivel uphill
Luring a garden to rouse; what a thrill
Yellow their sheen, waxing ‘good night, goodwill’!


Skipping Six, Going Straight to Seven-
Acrostics challenge #3, Andrea Dietrich

Such creative imagery and a very lovely poem of those flitting fireflies. How I miss them. They don't like Utah weather!! Congrats for your great win in my contest.

Ah, it's been so long since I've last seen fireflies, but your poem sure captured the beauty of these enthralling insects! Enjoyed your acrostic, Nette! Sending you soupmail in a bit!
