Afzal Nusker Poet Quatrain

Galactic Fireflies

Galactic shooting stars flying in my garden,
          creating quaint patterns of light art in the air.
Aglow with shimmers of zeal, glimmers of passion;
     luring their lovely mates with flickering flare. 

Some in enticing clusters like galaxies of stars,
          swirling and twirling around me in merriment.
Uplifting my spirit after a long day's spar,
     these tiny fireflies relieves my all worriment.
