Nette Onclaud Poet Monorhyme

Notes About The Poem

Fireflies At Night

 When nightfall cascades through the trees 
To drift across soft grassland's  breeze;
This moment comes when fireflies seize
A time for peace, the time for peace ~
When lure of wings can make one freeze.

Inducing wonder with graced ease,
They twirl on air like varnished fleas
Enchanting sky through boughs and bees.
Now dream in a wheeze, in a  wheeze~
As nature's gifts bring heady sprees!
