Fireflies all aglow
In all their dazzling glory
On this moonless night!


  Moonbeams radiate
As the veiling cloud has past
Playful shadows dance!

Beautiful picture! I loved watching the fireflies as a kid...we don't get them too much here in Arizona..too hot I guess.

I love fireflys and this haiku!  This reminds me of a poem I used to love as a kid about catching fireflys.  It goes something like this...

If you catch a firefly
And keep it in a jar
You may have found you have lost a tiny star
But if you let it go again
back into the night
You may see it once again
Star bright.

Yeah.  I think that's right.

When I was a child,I would catch fireflies,which we called lightening bugs,and I would take the light out and place it on my finger,like a ring1

We would put them in a jar and admire them,then let them go!

Brings back some childhood memories!
