Regina Mcintosh Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Fireflies In Mason Jars

As a child, we ran and caught fireflies in Mason jars
They lit up the twilight with their ignited bottoms
The joy of catching these bugs I’ve never forgotten
If I ever get the chance I’ll write about it in my memoirs
Together, we kids all filled up our jars with little lights
Charming miracles from God’s nature filled the nights
As a child, we ran and caught fireflies in Mason jars

Paul Callus October 5, 2019 at 9:10 AM You bring back so many memories with this charming poem, Regina! My grandfather used to say: Handle fireflies with care...they need to go fly again! ~ Best regards // paul Regina Mcintosh October 5, 2019 at 10:30 AM Thanks so much for your kind words. I love fireflies, but grew up in the mountains of Western NC so we called them lightning bugs really. I didn't know the word firefly was used for them until I was older. Bless you always, Paul...
