Firefly

Mouths gasp in wonder-
mystical lights dance in tune,
breathless concourses in awe
As God's creatures glow.
Brighter than cool, darkened nights-
Seas of fireflies ignite

Beth Watkins Date: 6/30/2011 9:59:00 AM :) Thanks! Like the doctor fish? Those things are really cool. Actually it's rather funny, I live in a place where there aren't any fireflies... For some reason I didn't actually believe that they really glowed until I saw them for the first time this past Friday during a senior trip to New York! :) Login to Reply

Doris Culverhouse Date: 6/30/2011 8:42:00 AM enjoyed reading today....fireflies are an interesting creature. Have you seen the deep ocean explorations and all the creatures down there have some glowing capabilities due to the darkness. Login to Reply
