Ignite the Fireflies

Oh, prepare ye prancing pixies
Ignite the fireflies
reveal to us in moonlight
What in the soil abides
Awake the buds
Call forth their blooms
Conduct the feathered choir
As in the hum of nature’s womb
May’s dreams of life conspire

Love the 'classic style,' John! Huzzah! ... Critic's analysis: 'Ignite the firefly; smoke-bomb up the chipmunk's rear.' ~ Watch the firefly and the fur fly!
