Firefly Summer

Reviews

[Matthew Kult]

Hello Blue,

A graceful dance of children on the city streets as they yell and play games of tag and kickball while their parents sit and watch in reminder of their early years in joy of what they brought to this earth. Elegantly reminded of soft smells of spring flowers touch the nose and the dusk slowy setting in with the bright lights of fairies dancing as children chase with their nets hoping, praying to catch one to make a wish.

Always,

Matthew
A.

Matthew's review is a bit of poetry itself!

Blue, quiet moments just like this are just what I wanted. I could picture nights sitting on the deck drinking well-chilled wine with my husband. Watching the stars flicker along with the fireflies made for some magical moments. Lovely. Thank you for submitting! Angi~

Thank you Angi I am honored by your review.

Simply, perfectly sublime. We don`t have fireflies in UK, but I remember a magical night on the Isle of Jersey with my future wife, when the only light along a lane was from stars and glow-worms in the hedgerows. Thank you, Blue. P.

It is always a magical experience that everyone should see at least once. I'm happy you have that memory Pete. Thanks so very much for your lovely comment.

I really have to wonder...why in the hell are you...I don't know how to say this tactfully...why in the hell are you HERE and not reading aloud from your many many many published books of poetry somewhere??? You should have many many many published books of poetry! I know I'm not the only one who would buy them!!! GAH!!!

Good? No. Phenomenal.

Just saying.

[icelandicblue]

LOL Thanks kimmer. I don't know. I don't think I see what you are seeing here. You did, however, make my day! Love your photo btw.

Ha ;-) Me and The Lish at the beach...thanks. And you know it's always my pleasure. I realize it's hard to take a step back and see your own brilliance, but you should try it sometime ;-) Then again I'm a card carrying narcissist so it's easy for me xD xD xD Hope your weekend is going great. xoxo

Makes me think of my childhood days in Idaho, thank you for invoking those carefree memories.

[icelandicblue]

Beautiful. I love the imagery of the fairies. I find them to describe the experience perfectly.

[icelandicblue]

Thanks so much, nice to meet you.

[Rachel Anderson]

This is wonderful! Such beautiful imagery and thought. I loved it.

Thanks a lot Rachel!

Ahhh, this takes me back. In my mind, I am a little girl again, squealing at the fireworks after the family Fourth of July picnic...laughing gaily as me and my cousins chase fireflies.
Thank you so much for sharing this fabulous poem.

[icelandicblue]

I am happy that the poem reminded you of such a beautiful memory.

[Coyote Poetry]

A beautiful poem. I use to visit my dad in the mountains of Virginia. In the night. Fireflies lite up the sky. They were a beautiful sight to see. I enjoyed your description and photo. Good to enjoy the beauty of the night with the fireflies. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Hello!
Thank you so much for giving me one of your beautiful reviews. I am happy that you could connect to a special memory through the poem. There is something about fireflies that fill the air with magic. Again, thanks again.

I loved this, but we called them lightning bugs when I was a kid...Enjoyed very much.

[icelandicblue]

Hi-thanks so much. We called them lightning bugs too but fireflies sounded more poetic. : )

[SyberRose]

Yes...I wrote one too with fireflies instead of lightning bugs ha.
