Lovers kiss under
a full moon, as fireflies dance
among  the trees
While  sounds of crickets chirping
Play a lovely melody

             Fireflies

Like stars, fireflies yearn to shine
and match their beauty,
but kiss the ground awhile.

Streetlamps Are Buzzing Like Fireflies

blue moon
standing
alone
in
a vacant parking lot
when
the
streetlamps
are buzzing like fireflies
on the 4th of July

Evening fireflies...
fleeting illumination...
an evocation
of a warm Southern spring night
with my partner, lover, friend

Not Bees

fireflies are soaking wet and heavy under the branches
they can fly up
to the higher trees
too much rain
they aren't bees.

Still Catching Fireflies

Still a boy
Such a happy Ladd
Catching fireflies
In a jar, in midsummer night
Oh, what a dandy, said
His copper moon eyes

Milky Way

Milky way --
one by one fireflies
up the hill

June
unfurls
golden hush~
fireflies drift out,
soft evenings linger,
warm breezes braid the dusk
lilies glow
waning
light

Each gesture lent
to conceal consent
  if reveal intent

Look-back's lament
undetected signs went
swift fireflies senescent

Fireflies At Night

stars
are
the
fireflies of night
and
we
communicate
with
our
light
red, blue, and green
with
some indigo
with
delight

Fireflies

Fireflies in light of darkness
fills the air and sprinkles upon us;
landing softly in long hairs duty
surrounding body within beauty.

The Mississippi Delta

Mint juleps in the sweet air
Catfish are jumping everywhere and
The Mississippi River is flowing
Fireflies serenading in the moonlight

Fireflies

Fireflies:
little cameras
with flash bulbs,
taking pictures
of memories,
for you to keep
during the cold
when summer
seems so far.

Premium Member A Quiet Evening

a quiet evening
overseen by brilliant moon
listen to your heart

beautiful silence 
where fireflies light your way
your soul relaxes

Premium Member SUMMER'S LAST BRATH

August drifts, gold along fences~ heat holding its last breath, while dusk gathers fireflies in a small bowl of light.

Premium Member First Close Encounter

Out alone at last
Seven, and rapt in lush green
Seeds of verse were sown
Yellow butterflies, hued blooms
On our new street of fireflies
Form: Tanka

Reminisce

Lying on the grass, gazed
The star studded dark blue sky,
The fireflies glow.
As the breeze caressed my hair,
Fell asleep thinking of her.

Premium Member Chasing Fireflies

Chasing fireflies
Sunflower fields in summer
Letting the good times roll
