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

Matthew's review is a bit of poetry itself!

[Creepy Swine Guy]

Wonderful! I love fireflies. They bring me back to my youth in such a wonderful way. Seeing them as fairies is so very inventive. You might well be onto something of our human past. Perhaps our ancestors, perplexed by these flying beacons did indeed come to the idea of fairies in this way.

[icelandicblue]

I think you are on to something here! I love learning how certain things came to be. Thanks so much and I agree that there is something special about fireflies.

[ChemicalMadness]

This is really quite lovely. Transports me to the exact place you are describing....I also like the idea of fireflies as stars in their own right....perhaps in their own world.....

Thanks for inviting me over ;)

Blue, this was perfect, it was enchanting and it was magical and I think we all need a little magic in our lives. I love the scene you have painted and I can hear the rush of tiny wings as twilight approaches. This is really very good and I want to thank you for sharing it with us.

[icelandicblue]

Thank Jack, you are right we all need a little magic in our lives.

I feel like I'm eight years old again running barefoot in the lush grass of my grandparents front yard. As the sun went down we waited eagerly for the fireflies....so we could dance among them. It was a bittersweet feeling because as soon as it became full dark we had to go in. ;-).... what a fantastic poem!!

[icelandicblue]

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful memory. They are such beautiful creatures and they are a part of magic of many of our childhoods.

[redflutterby]

You're welcome....thank you for sharing your work. ;-)

Thanks Frieda,

There is a small lake I go to in upstate NY and at night the magic unfolds. It is breathtaking. Thanks for reading and commenting. : )

[Frieda P]

Sounds lovely, I was just saying to a friend of mine the other night, there's nearly as many fireflies as there used to be, we must be in the wrong state, they all flew to your neck of the woods. I have to share this one with her. :-)

[Frieda P]

*not nearly, I type too fast for my own good...

[icelandicblue]

I think these days we can find them off the beaten paths.

[Frieda P]

This is light and airy like a cool breeze on a summer's night. I hardly see fireflies anymore, not like when I was a kid, always found them so fascinating, as I do your poetry...killer last verse, much enjoyed! This put a smile on my face.

"When the sun slinks slowly
beyond the grateful horizon
the fairies gather along dark roads
and manicured lawns."
This is some good poetry...:)

[icelandicblue]

Thanks so much!

[Sami Khalil]

My pleasure...:)

oh, this is gorgeous...you remind me of the years i lived on the farm and the sky was void of light pollution and smog and all things human. when dusk fell, all the magical creatures of our wonderful country universe would engage in a symphonic harmony of blissful choreography against the darkening sky. you have captured it magnificently herein! thank you for those precious memories.....

[icelandicblue]

Thanks quin- I think your comment is better than my poem!

[quinfinn]

oh pooh....not a chance, dear blue!

[icelandicblue]

Oh this is pure poetic excellence:

symphonic harmony of blissful choreography against the darkening sky

; ) I wish I thought of that. Thanks so much quin your reviews are always a treat.
