Firefly,
light its fire,

         Ephemeral light of the firefly
           floating in the dark sky
    blinks and blinks, without being a star...

A lovers  reach in petrified time
Butterflies, take it on this Summer night

A sky of fireflies
fills with drizzled meek magic
stars sprinkled in jars
sequin flecked lacy twilight
lending midnight their brief light

Premium Member The Pyrophoric Firefly

The firefly is pyrophoric
Giving off glowing light
Such a ethereal sight
Glides around children who are euphoric,
One of few creatures who is adoric.

Three Lights

first night—
the soul’s fringe still shining hazily
the last night—
as though knowing time has come
morning comes—
a firefly spends all its light

Premium Member Firefly Juxtaposition

darkening meadows 
conjure parallel stages- 
lawn chairs on damp grass 
fireflies skittishly eyeing 
the flitting lights of smart phones

Nightfall

Soft
lights blink
underneath
shaded starry 
sky

swift
glowing
firefly
quietly passes
by

Birds
chirps sweet
lullaby,
sway to world of
dreams.
Form: Lanterne

Lion of Light

A single firefly
bumped into a computer monitor
and
fell into the keyboard,
floundering
lost in the valley,
slow crawling
disappears into the darkness.

Self Reflection

Selfless equipped with nobility and compassion
Original can not be cloned, copied, or duplicated
Unique wonderfully created one me
Luminescence gifted firefly
Form: Acrostic

Winds of Change

I spied a gossamer firefly, with big black eyes... 
Kissing, her beauty's butterflies; together they flew
Beyound the residuums view; these taunting, cockatoos.

Light

The darkness that soaks you,

Dedicated to your way,

It’s all you are gifted merely.

Be your own light.

Be the firefly.

What choice else remains?

What choice?

Premium Member Flickering Firefly

flickering fireflies

faerie spirits of the land,

I cry to see you...

but when I embrace the sea,

she washes those tears away.

Fireflies glowing as they pass in the night

Firefly

Mouths gasp in wonder-
mystical lights dance in tune,
breathless concourses in awe
As God's creatures glow.
Brighter than cool, darkened nights-
Seas of fireflies ignite
