Notes About The Poem

Firefly

Firefly in rouge, dusk flames,
Flying in charmed wonder;
Famed since glad childish days
Fast moving, slow blinking,
Fanatic of cream moon.
Fervency of summer,
Fuchsia night green stunner!

You are great at writing pleiades! The charm of the “rouge, dusk flames” and the contrast of “ Fast moving, slow blinking” and the colors pop. Hugs ~ Kim

I know the science, but the light still seems magical to me -- poetry, our fireflies of words. Well done my friend.

I know how you feel, Joe. The wonder of fireflies has never left me, since I first discovered them, as a small child. Thank you so much for your thoughts. :)
