Even the Firefly
Maverick Free verse contest
While moonbeams glow
and cast shadow on
bedroom walls—
Lovers doing their thing
while the cradle mocks
their every move,
empty for the time being.
I grasp the situation
vividly and firm in
the grip of frustration.
Not knowing if the
meaning of life is life’s meaning
or life’s doings.
I must say that life’s
doings are more pleasurable
in the heat of the moment
than discourse on the
matter of intercourse.
The latter usually a
prelude to the former.
The lightning bug however
fails to see the value
of discourse.
Opting instead to
simply fire off those juices in it’s belly
enticing the female
to a pleasurable evening.
Then again, perhaps
all that winking and blinking
is just foreplay,
just waiting for the nod.
It must be pleasurable,
in that over 2000 specie of
the flying lights live among us.
How is it that the master
plan thinks of everything.
It brings order out of chaos.
Is it the master plan or
the Master’s plan.
Your call- - !
