In the lull of the waxing moon, a night endows with poetic glamor; In the wink of an eye, flickering by in the midst of shrubs' shadow, A resplendent sight. A scramble of fireflies, filling the open-air tow Through screen gauzy of light. One lone firefly poise, a beacon of glamour, There, upon a steeple leaf as it appears to me in utter darkness. Each only a mere blink of light, wandering wide and gone in the blackness. In the lull of the waxing moon, a night endowed with poetic glamor. 10/6/2019

I picked the firefly, too... You've written a very "Poetic" poem that will surely win. Beautiful and whimsical as a song. Blessings and love to you, Gina
