Deadly Light

flickering lantern
 swinging gently in the breeze
 in the glow of the moonlight
 flitting fireflies are lured ~ 
 towards the fatal attraction

True words...fireflies are doomed as soon as they approach the lantern. Nevertheless we always find them flickering around light. Congratulations on your win Wendy :)
