In Moonlit Dives -- Bite Size


Fireflies reel as autumn arrives
Shimmering into kohl of night,
Tiny plumes charm ...in moonlit dives
To rollercoast until twilight--

To later fade,   die from my sight!

I enjoyed reading your wonderful write. As a young child, we would put Fireflies in a jar. Now I wish we had Not done it. Adults gave us the jar... Have a blessed day/weekend writing away..................
