Second Place

Funeral of Fireflies

At   
night    
fireflies
make a noise
and light up the sky
flickering their wings gossamer 
pretty in the garden landing on the water pond
I drift off to sleep tranquil, relaxed, and stress free with no cares to dream a peaceful dream.

And in my dream I am transported to a magical forest where fireflies twinkle and glow, the 
flashes of light make for a lovely dance.

In dreams I am wandering about trying to catch a firefly, but they are fast and busy with their
mating dance.  I know that they do not live very long, only sixty-one days, sad, such beauty only
lives for a short time.

Hiya Sharma September 16, 2026 at 12:19 AM My dear Constance, I'm absolutely elevated to a magical realm after reading this serene poem! You've soulfully woven the lively elixir of fireflies here! I've never seen fireflies but I jus love how mystical they are ~ 😍🥹 And your Fibonacci reflects that quality so effortlessly.. "flickering their wings gossamer pretty in the garden landing on the water pond" Spellbinding throughout! And say in the end yes, how beauty only lives for a fleeting moment.. that makes me ponder so much! Congratulations on your lovely placement in my contest, sending you firefly magic and poetic warmth 🧚🍁🍂💫🌙 Constance La France September 17, 2026 at 4:13 PM Hiya, thank you for the beautiful contest, my placement, the compliment and congratulations, I loved writing this poem for you ❤️

David Crandall August 15, 2026 at 4:44 PM It sounds very nice! We don't have fireflies in Southern California, so I've never seen them! Constance La France August 16, 2026 at 3:57 AM Thank you 🦋

Valsa George August 12, 2026 at 6:02 AM It is a delight seeing fireflies in the dusk. As children we used to catch and keep them in jars. These days we don't see a single one in our locality. Your lovely poem brought back many pleasant memories of by gone times.🥰 All the best dear Constance.👍 Constance La France August 13, 2026 at 4:25 PM Thank yoù 🦋
