Notes About The Poem

Firefly Days, Butterfly Nights

one fine day they changed places
fireflies lit daytime shadows
while butterflies splashed the night
a shrewd color scheme

bright hues and exotic moon
flittering and fluttering
pure rapture under the stars
midnight was dreaming

the firefly shadows twinkled
above the enraptured blooms
the fervent day seemed to pause
in search of the moon
