They are beautiful. I like how you poeticized them Line.

'skittish fireflies' -- They certainly are evasive, those lamplighters. Two thumbs way up on this haiku, Line! Thanks, Gershon

It is one of my life regrets that I am 60 years old and have never seen a firefly. They just don't exist in my region, and I don't travel enough to have seen them elsewhere. They sound magical. Love your haiku. Blessings ~ John
