Warm with

Lightning bugs ...

June meadow's soft

Stars.

My grandson used some lightning bugs for a night light. I thought one was dead but opened the jar outside and off it flew...perhaps it faked its demise to force an escape...lol! Congrats, Greg, on your first place win!

I wanna put my hands around it Greg, that lovely warm jar. Wonderful poetry as always and a winner to me of course.

Greg, I always know a fine thing when I see it! As I recall, the first of yours I read was one of those lovely sensual ones you create, that speak of so much more that the physical union. A veteran of dating websites now, I can tell you you are the needle in the haystack. Keep 'em comin'.

That's very kind of you, Jean, and I thank you so much! It's so nice to see you "about" ... you were one of the first to reach out to me here, and I will never forget that. Blessings, Dear Poet! :-) <3
