Fireflies

Fireflies, lithe torch bearers Flaming bugs on small wings Fairies of the dark night Freelance electricians Fleetingly come and go Flitting incandescence Flickering before eyes.

Nice Pleiades, my friend. Fireflies were such a joy to me and my friends when I was young and out to have fun. Another good entry for a contest, you're on a roll, Valsa. I hope all is well and life is good for you. Hugs, Bill

Love the line - 'Freelance electricians!' That takes an eye for creativity! btw, maybe you can start an agency and hire them out. Chicago is in desperate need of more qualified electricians! lol.

“Freelance electricians” literally , this made me think, maybe they really are the electricians in their realm, how creative is this pleiades. They really are like beautiful fairies of the night. Do you see fireflies alot where you are from? All these fireflies poems making me want to see them again. Goodluck for the contest
