This Firefly Night Turner- Lane Collaboration

The moon was peeking through the naked trees The breeze that blew that day had gone to bed A lonely nightingale perched overhead Harassed the silence with his sad reprise The creaking porch swing's old familiar tune No fitting lyrics could I ever write To my sweet love on this warm firefly night The melancholic song I'd never croon Ten trillion stars, a shimmering chemise Which cloaked the sky in sparkles green and red Connected by the rays of golden thread How could one tire, admiring nights like these? Upon magnolia trees, blossoms were strewn The nightingale heard his call and took flight I might sit here until the morning light Like days of old, these nights would make us swoon

wow, your writing of sonnets lately is taking me back to my early days when I wrote so many like this one here. I have gotten a bit lazy now and don't always do so great with my sonnets!! Are you free of work and stuff? I see you constantly over here now commenting and writing poems. Cool!
