This Fantasy poem, To Dance with Fireflies, follows this new-to-me formatting and creates a fun time in the evening with the glow bugs. Nice.

Omigosh, this is lovely. I could see the beauty of the fireflies in the night, but are gone by morning. I don't think one is ever too old to enjoy them. Down here, we call them lightning bugs. I love watching them.

June,
Good try at the club challenge. I like the topic you chose. I still like fireflies when I see them. They seem to be fewer in number as I
get older.
Keep writing
Joan

Your lines read well, the formatting is done correctly, the rhymes are in the right places, there is great imagery, and the overall idea of fantasy is well-expressed. Thanks for sharing, Respectfully with Love, Jan.

A very well-written fantasy poem about dancing with the fireflies where the fragrant moonflowers bloom. Their twinkling lights enchant young minds.

NS fire-flies have two syllables according to syllable counter and dictionary.com
