Notes About The Poem
Roses or fireflies contest by Ink Empress

Sky of Fireflies


Twilight Tranquil country summer. Smell the sun baked soil and thirsty blades of grass eager for the dew. Easy. Simple. Unhurried. Slowly swaying to nature's musical Crickets fiddle, marsh Frogs hum bass drum and Cello trill vibrations Under bare, dirty feet. Cattail castanets tapping to the beat. A thrill for all the senses as the light show begins… Each flash keeps tempo, twinkling in delightful dance! Unveiling moments of simple summertime magic. These nights, every blessed childhood lullaby, sweetly remembered.
