This is so beautiful! And a winner in my book, so you have my vote! I love the way you did your design with the black of night and the gold of the firefly, and your accompanying art is perfect. Great work, and I wish you luck in the contest!

Thank you for reading my poem and your supportive comments. All is appreciated.
Comment from Rachelle Allen
Visually, this poem just ignites (hahaha; like what I did there?) the senses. I love the symbolic neon yellow and the way you positioned words to resemble the little insects, themselves.
And, of course, the message is true, as well. As awesome as they are, they're even more flying in a field than "battering"--I loved your choice of word there--around in a mason jar.
Good luck with the contest.

Excellent entry for the "The Life of a............" writing prompt contest.
I enjoyed reading your story about fireflies. They are amazing creatures.
Your story moved along nicely and the plot was easy to understand and follow. Good character development.
Well done, my friend.

Yes, they are amazing, but are best appreciated freely flying in fields. I appreciate you reading and rating my poem.
Comment from lyenochka
I enjoyed the creative formatting of your poem! With the yellow font on black background and the erratic lines you captured the movement of fireflies. The mason jar is used by the child to capture them. But the poet urges the reader to release and remember our own times are limited. Best wishes in the contest!

Beautifully presented. Thank you for sharing your memories of your childhood in Virginia. I have never had the opportunity to ever see a firefly.

Thank you for reading and rating my poem. Where do you live that have no fireflies? Some call them lightening bugs.
Comment from AbbyeK7
Very cool. I like how you staircased a couple of words. Fireflies on a summer night bring happiness to me. I love how you contained the image.
I like how you compared it to youth, and how the light eventually goes out.
This is a neat poem.

I remember catching fireflies when I was a kid. Dad always made us let them go before we went to bed. I still live in the country, and the fireflies are thick right now. I wish you luck in the contest.

Mom made us release them too, but I was hard-headed and always broke or bent rules. LOL Thanks for reading and rating my poem.
